Winter Vacation Scheme 2018 Thread

[Salma]

Hi All,

Please post all your queries here.

Thank you

What firms are people applying/thinking of applying to?

It might be nice to keep everyone motivated to do apps

Just got an email that Hogan Lovells is open. Let the games begin.

I literally thought I had ages and now I feel behind!

I will create a list of firms who are opened for the winter vacation schemes this year and their deadlines shortly.

I hope this will be of assistance to you all!

This is a personal list I have compiled of all the firms that offer winter vacation scheme, their deadlines and winter scheme dates. (Some were empty because I couldn't find the dates, if anyone can fill it up that'll be great) Please disregard the highlights! I didn't know how to get rid of it....

This is fantastic Yaner, thank you for sharing!

I have put this into a Google Sheet for anyone to edit. Would be great if we could have a comprehensive list of winter vacation scheme deadlines and dates.

Does anyone know if A&O are non-rolling?

Also Latham & Watkins has introduced a winter vacation scheme this cycle for those interested!

 

[Jaysen]

Rolling as far as I'm aware. Would strongly recommend applying early to A&O as places fill up.

@Selma95 I read the same on Latham’s website. But they haven’t opened up applications with deadlines at the end of October

Yep! However they don’t review applications until after the deadline.

Does anyone have a favourite/worst application?

I'm currently reading Bird & Bird's application and I think they have the best questions I've come across so far.

The Bird & Bird question

Does anyone have a favourite/worst application?

I'm currently reading Bird & Bird's application and I think they have the best questions I've come across so far.

Reed Smith have a particularly difficult question: "Who are Reed Smith's competitors and how does Reed Smith differentiate itself from the firms you name?"
