I haven't applied to Pinsent Masons so I can't give any firm-specific advice but I just wanted to say that you should be extremely proud of yourself for reaching the AC stage for two firms! With the process being so competitive, that is a massive achievement.

For my AC, I contacted some trainees via LinkedIn and one was kind enough to call and talk me through the process and their experience. This was really useful to me so perhaps you could do the same if you're struggling to find much online.

I think it is important to rebuild your confidence in yourself before you go and change the way that you look at your previous AC experience. I know it is so much easier said than done, but you will naturally give a better performance if you can do this.

Wishing you all the best and crossing my fingers for you!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it

Wishing you all the best for the future too!

Has anyone heard from kennedys post AC?

Has anyone heard from kennedys post AC?

I’m not sure what they communicated to you, but on our AC (Manchester) they said that they would still be holding AC’s up to the beginning of this week. And that we could expect to hear from them following this week. But they gave no indication of any sort of time frame

I would be very grateful for some advice regarding Summer Vacation Scheme Placements. I am fortunate enough to have been offered a vac scheme place for this summer at one of my favourite firms but following this I have received interview-stage invites at two other firms. However, their vac scheme dates overlap with the Vac scheme place I already have been offered (and accepted). Is it still worth pursuing the interviews from these other two firms even though I would be unable to accept them? I am currently studying for summer exams and a little worried about the time I may potentially be spending preparing for interviews versus revising for exams.

Has anyone heard back from Bristows at all? I think final interviews were about two weeks ago, unsure when we might hear back..

You may be able to ask to be considered for a direct TC instead depending on the firm
