Shearman has done on-campus interviews at Oxford, was an interesting experience.

They really pushed me on commercial awareness, more so than any other firm. I also only had one question about Shearman itself!
i guess the rest of us will hear back when they're done interviewing oxbridge lol

According to legal cheek, 52% of their trainees are oxbridge; not even sure how to interpret that figure. But guess they need that talent given all the partners they're losing as a result of that Hogan merger lololol (can you tell that i'm hella salty about my impending pfo????)

    A post-interview Cambridge reject here (and I'm still not over it almost a decade on lol), think about how salty I'll be when I receive that Shearman PFO 😅

    For London VS?!?!?!?!?!

    Honestly, not sure if you are joking or not. That's the recruiting style in the US I believe.
