Anyone heard from Cleary? I applied

For firms that offer virtual internships (and you mentioned that you completed them in work experience), will they check the work you submitted?

Brush up on your general business understanding! I did an AC for Hogan Lovells last year and for the case study I had to talk about the issues facing the stakeholders etc of a particular business. The whole thing stressed me out so much that I took knowing what a stakeholder is as a win 🤣. But seriously, brush up on business key terms and commercial news stories and you'll be fine - confidence is the big thing. Congrats and good luck!

Thank you, that's going to help me so much!

Just received an AC invite from Simmons which I am so shocked about😭 If anyone has any tips please let me know as it's my first ever AC!

see, your positive thinking does pay off <333 I'd say make sure you have an understanding of law firms as businesses, how do they retain clients, also what tasks trainees do and their role, GOOD LUCK

PFO from Dechert post written assessment and VI. Gutted as I thought it went well.

However, Baker McKenzie VI invite on the same day. What a rollercoaster!

Spring. It took them some time to reply, as I did the VI on the 20th of December and the written assessment a few days after!

I applied for the Summer VS at Jones Day but haven't received any email.

Hi! Did anyone hear back from MoFo for their summer vacation scheme?

 

[Sunshinepink]

Well done! When did you get the invite if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you! Their on screen timer was making me silently panic, I haven't been the same since I completed it....

I got it on the 2nd of February

Invited to Baker McKenzie VI for Spring! But I’ve already secured a Spring VS elsewhere. Would it be possible for me to ask graduate recruitment to move my application for the direct TC as I can’t do the Summer VS either. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated😊 @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker

Anyone heard anything from Penningtons? Also from Farrer I saw someone invited to an AC but I haven't heard anything from them.
