I am trying to start my Norton Rose Fulbright (NRF) app for a direct TC but cannot find the link to apply. I saw people talking about this a couple days ago. Is there still nothing? I have checked their careers page and their graduate rec page
still nothing. I emailed grad rec (and so did someone else some days ago) but they haven’t gotten back. Working assumption is that there a an internal delay not communicated since it wouldn’t make sense if they were to fill up from their VS, generally speaking they’ve usually had a healthy direct route
Hi. It says on their website that applications close in May and first round assessment stages will take place in June/July. I’m assuming based on this that they recruit on a non-rolling basis. Best of luck with your application to Fried, Frank. 🙂
Yep, thought so as well but needed confirmation. Thank you!
they said they are not permitted to tell exact scores this year but just told me that i passed, if you'd like to find out too
What is the craig with DWF?
I have seen PFO and VI / AC invites but I still haven‘t heard back post app.

I need some advice.
I am an EU national but have a British partner with whom I live in the EU (my boyfriend is from England). I have a very strong CV, multiple years of legal experience, a lot of transactional work, good uni grades, very strong extra curriculars (founded two of the larger student clubs in my uni) and have an LLB and an LLM. I still somehow can’t get past the application stage. I have tweaked, peer reviewed, refined, you name it, but nothing.
This leads me to think that the visa could be the main issue? SO my question is, most law firms ask whether I have the right to work in the UK without restriction, which I currently don’t. My partner is able to sponsor me through the partner visa, if I say yes to the Q, that’s technically not true as we’d only apply for the partner visa and initiate the move to the UK contingent on me getting a TC offer. But if I say no the Q, then oftentimes I have no way of letting them know I could go the route of them not sponsoring me. What would you do?

say yes and then explain your situation fully in the additional information part
Stephenson Harwood has the following disclaimer on their site "You will also be asked to review some information and provide a short summary answer." but apart from their Q on the three issues impacting law firms and the two Qs on why law and why firm, there is nothing of the kind. Has anyone noticed this or am I missing something?
They previously asked you to summarise an article as part of the application in previous cycles.
I started working on an app last year but didn’t submit it. I think the article was on yachting and you had to summarise its key points.
Now that a lot of people would just use ChatGPT, they’ve removed that question.
indeed. I noticed that they had done this last year but perhaps decided to remove for your reasons
