Osborne Clarke PFO and Taylor Wessing AC today. Rollercoaster of emotions to say the least.
OC PFO but Bakers Spring VS offer today - so can't complain 
Huge congrats. 🥳OC PFO but Bakers Spring VS offer today - so can't complain
Taylor Wessing AC!!!! Needed something good after three PFOs and a terrible interview all in the last week haha
Can i just ask why this emoticon? Is it not a respectable firm? Asking for my own application!
Has anyone heard back from Travers Smith at all about the SVS? I feel like it’s been a while from the application deadline. 🥲🥲
Based on last year’s forum for WVS and SVS it seemed they were getting back to people a few weeks after the final deadline.

freshfields: here’s your invitation to our assessment, but if you want adjustments email us and do not attempt the test until we have responded
me: emails later the same day asking for reasonable adjustments, deadline for the assessment passes
today
ff: unfortunately we shall not be progressing with your application
me replying: im guessing this is because i didn’t do the assessment, but i emailed about adjustments and was not replied to
ff response just now -

Has anyone else not heard from AG after the initial application? Seeing people on here have already had ACs so I'm assuming PFO at this point.
How on earth is that fair??? I am so sorry that you had to go through that
Icel that’s actually disgusting. Did they accept that you had emailed for adjustments and that they had failed to respond? Surely they should have been able to give at least a one day extension with the adjustments in place?
I’m sorry you had to go through all of that. It’s a joke in my opinion.
Tbh though, this doesn’t really surprise me. Have you seen the latest Legal Cheek article. 😂
Two siblings got given a New York secondment through nepotism. *allegedly* 👀
A senior partner at Freshfields was a close family friend of theirs (the nepotism in question). *allegedly* 👀
Freshfields swapped several trainees’ secondments in order to give the New York secondments to the siblings in question (conveniently). *allegedly* 👀

nah it’s okay hahah, i sent a strongly worded email back -
i wasn’t hopeful anyway as i was rejected last year post-AC (which went so so badly)
i am still waiting back on AG post VI. I did my VI on 20th December. I know they have sent out rejections to people post VI too. I emailed them last week asking when i can expect to hear back and they didn't give me a time frame, they just said they were still going through applications..
Just received Mishcon PFO following December VI
its giving ‘guys i figured out a way to avoid having to employ disabled people omg!’
Taylor Wessing AC!! It's my first ever AC in this cycle so I'm super anxious..Does anyone have any insights/tips?
