I see a few have already received PFOs and I’ve seen one acceptance. Perhaps they’re going through Spring VS first and then doing the Summer ones? They seem to be pretty quick though in comparison to other firms!

They are non-rolling so it's not like they would have started reviewing your app on Nov 21st

For anyone who’s done A&O’s AC, did you find you did well in case study but not the scenario interview. Just did it and I feel as though I bombed it, I’ve lost all hope.

To clarify, did you do an AC for the Summer Vac Scheme today?

I felt I did better in the scenario interview than the case study so I'm sure it's just personal opinion! I'm sure they consider it holistically so I wouldn't worry

Heya,

I've applied for Spring - passed the test last week (Thurs) but haven't heard back.

 

[Legalstalker]

The first firm that has given me a PFO without me even applying.🤣🤣 diversity in university and race/gender is thriving at Kirkland 🤪

(Just a joke)

Does anyone have any experience with Bird & Bird VI.

It says competency questions on the email but their website mentions motivation questions as well.

Is anyone able to provide some more insights?
