has anyone got a dechert AC invite for wvs?

Based off last year, it seems like they will get back to candidates re AC around mid-nov? Not sure if it will also be the case this year

Does anyone have any experience doing the Taylor Wessing online assessment? Would hugely appreciate any tips!

They called me like 20 minutes ago.

Hoping you hear back soon!

But if not, don’t worry - it could literally be a case of trying to interview as many as possible, hence the quick turnaround. They may actively be reaching out to people to fill slots up as and when they arise.

Does anyone know if non-law graduates can apply to Addleshaw Goddard's vacation scheme? In the info section it states: "The placement scheme is open to all second year law students and above or final year non-law students" - does this mean that graduates are excluded?

These have been paused for the moment while the TCLA review the newsletter. We are expecting it to be back in a new form next week!

Thank you for clarifying. Do you know if it will still be sent out on a Wednesday?

There is no way they gave you a day! Surely not!

That’s genuine outrageous if they did

ETA: the shortest time I’ve been given is 5 days and the longest is 3 weeks. 1 day is absolutely outrageous lol

Nice. I'm guessing I might have got a PFO then.
