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

post ac?

No it was just after the online test

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????)

Mofo final stage interview call! Anyone that has had experience with this before I'd appreciate any tips

Hey, congrats! When was your first stage interview?

Haven’t received a VI invite for Latham (completed sjt on 9th jan) should I assume its a pfo?😭

 

[WannaLaw99]

Nope, it’s essentially a combined SJT and WG

I am humbled to share with everyone that K&E has just sent me a lovely PFO. Biggest L was how long I spent on the app💀🙃

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.
