Anyone got a summer AC for Latham?

 

[Tintin06]

I just did the Dechert Written Exercise. Does anyone have any advice on these? It was pretty time-pressured and I'm unsure how to improve content and presentation.

Slaughters just gave me a heart attack i thought they were finally getting back to me about the summer VS but the email was just “Slaughter and May - Opportunities for first year students”💀💀

Ahahaha I got an email from them as well. Was expecting a rejection but they just apologised for the delay and said they're still considering applications due to the amount submitted leading up to the deadline. Has anyone progressed with S+M since applying or heard anything back?

Have Bird and Bird and Taylor Wessing reached out to anyone to complete the test?

 

[Hana (aaah I want a TC)]

Anyone heard from Gowling post-VI or Baker McKenzie post application?

I believe we will hear from Gowling at the beginning of January.

 

[taliagibson]

Has anyone heard from Stephenson Harwood post-VI for spring placement?

 

[axab23]

Has anyone heard from Latham vac scheme?

 

[goodvibesonly]

Is Mishcon rolling for summer vac scheme? Im not sure if there's still any point in applying as I see that lots of people have already made it to VI

 

[Percypig12]

Anyone heard from W&C post-app for Spring VS?

 

[AspiringSolicitor95]

I doubt it, this is the first cycle of the current iteration

Those who applied to DLA (esp regional offices) and received their benchmark email - does the email say that meeting benchmark doesn't necessarily mean we have secured a seat at the ACs.
Also, are their ACs in person only?

Can someone please reply to this 😭

Was it like a standard case study / email to a client kind of thing ? I have mine next week so what format it was would help. Thx

Yeah the email said you’re not guaranteed an AC place despite meeting the VI benchmark (I applied for London)

But all ACs are in person, they pay for transport (it said including flights up to a certain price) so I don’t think they’d give an online option
