Just completed the Simmons VI for the summer vac and halfway through my mum started hoovering and the washing machine randomly started going... Think I may have ruined my chances 🤦‍♀️

For those of you applying to Clifford Chance's 2023 TC is it ok to submit by 23:59pm on the 25th for their midnight deadline? just want to make sure im not shooting myself in the foot here 😂

Technically yes, although I would try to apply within working hours just in case you have any technical problems and need to contact them.

Should be with spaces.

Breaking news

I am attending Skadden Open day and the GRM is only mentioning transferable skills and that you do not need legal experience to get a TC.

Anyone have a rough idea on when HSF will get back to spring scheme applicants?

Has anyone heard from Shearman post interview?

I know it varies for each firm, but does anyone know how long on average it takes to hear back after a vac scheme interview?

After deadline.

In my experience, it takes about 2 weeks! Some firms can be much faster - I think it depends largely on the number of interviews held and whether the firm operates a rolling or non rolling recruitment process.

Hope you get some good news soon!

Can be anything between a couple of hours and a couple of weeks.

Does anyone know if Fieldfisher opened applications for this cycle? I can't find anything on their website.

Hi,

I have recently emailed the graduate recruitment and they said they are not doing summer vacation scheme in 2022 - candidates are recommended to apply for direct TC. Hope it helps!
