congrats on getting the invite! can I ask if they gave any info about the timeframe for ACs? Also, what does the status of your application say on the portal? Thanks

Did anyone receive an email from Eversheds saying they are still reviewing the application and will get back by next week? Don't know whether I should expect PFO.

Yes I received this too. Not holding my breath but I guess it’s not a PFO till it’s a PFO!

I wonder if ff are done sending out WG and they are gonna PFO everybody else or they are still working through.

Somebody got an invite yesterday and now someone has got one today, maybe they will be sending the invites out until tomorrow or Friday? Although Saturday is a very tight deadline for a WG compared to other firms, in my experience anyway

deadline for test is this saturday at 5pm

Sorry one more question, can I ask when you applied?

i think start of Dec or right just before the deadline - can't remember exactly but know it was late

Does anyone know whether FF sends WG for direct tc application after deadline or as they read applications after receiving them? Thx!

 

[Aspiring.lawyer.to.be]

Eversheds did say the ACs will be end of January week of 18th till 31st at the open day

Has anyone had experience working as paralegal at HSF?
I’ve read the really bad reviews on glassdoor and it makes me quite anxious and uncomfortable to work there! especially the news around harassment etc..

If you're referring to Freshfields, they read applications before sending WG.

Did Goodwin close early for anyone else?? I can't submit even though it's not yet 8pm (which is the stated deadline)

If it makes you feel any better, they do give a few direct TC offers every year (ie. they save them for direct applicants). So assuming the qs are the same, you can submit that

 

[BeGrateful.101]

Anyone here interested in Greenberg Traurig?

heya do you know any other firms recruiting via CV and cover letter

I applied on the deadline which may be why it hasn't been reviewed yet . I really like the firm so my fingers are crossed for an invite, but I'm not getting my hopes up

 

[law1234]

Does anyone know if FF reviews WG tests on a rolling basis or after Saturday?

 

[aishaalexandra]

Hey, I did the Simmons test and got the AC afterwards. The numerical stuff is pretty straight forward, Im not the best at maths either but since it isnt timed I found it relatively stress free because you have all the time you need to work stuff out using a calculator or even just mentally. Theres definitely nothing crazy in there to worry about from what I remember

Thank you so much! That's really helpful to know!

 

[futuretrainee202X]

Good luck everyone with Freshfields WG! And sending those who are waiting for an invite the best vibes

Anyone know how long Addleshaw takes to notify if you’re through to the voice interview?

I applied just before Christmas and got invited yesterday if that helps
