The dates they gave were early Jan

 

[attempting law]

i spoke to grad rec at a careers fair and they said graduates cant apply unfortunately :/

Hey, I didn't see this when applying and am a graduate who has done the video interview, do you think I should email them to ask if I can even be considered?

How long are we given to prepare and answer questions for CMS VI? I recall in previous cycles people saying it was 60 seconds. Is it still the same?

60s to prepare and 60s to answer

Does anyone know if the Hogan Lovells WG is automatic?

Yes it is and if you pass it, then they will review your application and if successful, they will invite you for an assessment centre.

How long are we given to prepare and answer questions for Dechert VI? Also, how many questions are there?

hi yeah that sounds like a good idea, the firm's website says this - "Eligibility is penultimate year law undergrad or final year non-law undergrad ONLY – for 2026 Training Contract Start" and they only hire for TCs through a VS

[Studyinglaw]

Hi, for those who have requested their WG from Linklaters, how did you do this exactly? Is it simply an email to grad rec asking for the score and is this common to do?

 

[Winter]

Can anyone with insight into the CMS VI message me! thanks!!

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?
