May be a silly question, but can UK students apply for Stephenson Harwood Dubai - or do you need some sort of permit to work there

Trowers & Hamlins AC for London!! 🥳🥳

Has anyone heard from Katten. Also did anyone not get an automated email that their application was received after sending their application off. I’m getting nervous that my application will not even be read 😭

Soo many WG, VI and AC invites this past week or so!

Well done everyone it’s such a huge achievement with such fierce competition given the amount of applications firms get. I don’t know any of you but super proud of you all 😃

And if you haven’t heard back don't let the PFO’s phase you I’ve had about 26 PFO’s this cycle and I’m still optimistic?😂 you only need 1 yes 😅

Anyone hear from AG Leeds post VI?

 

[SLLLAMA]

Fieldfisher PFO post online test (direct TC)

 

[Ash2323]

Apart from those of you who heard back from Goodwin last Weds, has anyone else heard back?

In your experience @axelbeugre do they tend to give interview invites / pfos in a batch or all at once?

Hearing other people also did not get a confirmation email at least gives me hope I actually sent it to the right place.

I’m hoping it isn’t a Trowers PFO for the rest of us 😭 I’ll be gutted

 

[Cherikon]

Has anyone heard back from Reed Smith post VI?

 

[CorporateCrocodile]

Has anyone heard anything from Debevoise & Plimpton?

 

[axelbeugre]

What websites, courses or advice do people use or have for building commercial awareness?

I’ve currently been advised: Ziplaw, FT, investopedia & Finimize

The Lawyer, the Economist and firms' websites and LinkedIn profiles are great too. Additionally, I tend to follow partners and associates from the law firms I am interested in and see what they like or the articles that they write on commercial topics and that is really good too in my opinion. The Lawyer is the best site though as it really gives an overview of what law firms work on and might be interested in. I did not use it when I was applying last year but I am using it now just for personal interest and I am mesmerised by how good it is. It would have been so helpful.

Hi guys,

How would you answer this question or do you guys have any creative ideas about issues law firms are facing now or in the future. It seems like it can span anything

Mishcon Spring VS Offer!!!

Congratulations! Very well done!

 

[rashidmeher]

Has anyone heard back from EY for the legal Experience Days vacation scheme? (post test)

I have also heard nothing and didn't receive an automatic email 😂

Sigh Idk what to do tbh because the very least I just want my application to be read but since it seems no-one has heard back maybe we have a chance
