    Hi. Can anyone please clarify the following TC application question: “Shoosmiths is a firm of individuals, with a culture that will actively allow you to grow your skills and challenge yourself. Focusing on one previous experience (in personal, work or study), what skills have you developed...

    Does anyone know when we can expect to hear back from WBD? Also, how did people find the online test? Idk why I struggled with the basic maths-related questions that I would have aced when doing my GCSEs lol.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    It sucks because I initially applied to their direct TC last year (around June) and they reached out to me not long after saying that they had already filled up the spaces for direct TCs but really liked my application so wanted to transfer me to the VS process instead. Essentially this has been...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    They emailed me to tell me they aim to respond within 10 weeks of the application deadline (6th Jan). This should mean we hear back by 17th March, which is the 10-week mark. They also told me that there were to be multiple ACs running from Jan to March, but I highly doubt they haven't already...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Has anyone heard back from AG yet/received PFO emails within the past few weeks? I’ve only seen people receive AC invitations here and there but not rejection emails which is strange considering they told us we would hear back 10 weeks from the application deadline (which would be by the 17th...

    Hill Dickinson PFO 😭 still stings even though they’re not my main target. Still waiting to hear back from AG which I assume at this point is most likely PFO. Leaving WBD as my last hope!

    Is anyone else still waiting to hear back from AG (vac scheme)? Did my VI a while ago and was aware some people heard back pretty quickly about AC invites so not sure what to think at this point but I'd rather they just get it over with and send me my PFO!

    Congrats! Was the AG AC for the direct TC or vac scheme? If vac scheme, when did you hear back following the VI?

    Addleshaw Goddard & Dickson Minto Interview

    Hi. I reached out to grad rec at AG for an update and they told me that ACs were running from January to March, which I assume means there will be more than one AC timeslot, so I wouldn't assume PFO until you actually get a response. It could just be that you may end up invited to the later AC...

    For anyone who is stressing still waiting to hear back from AG post-VI like myself, I reached out to the early careers team for an update and got the following reply: "I hope you are well and thank you for your email. Our assessment centres run from January to March, and we currently do not...

    Addleshaw Goddard & Dickson Minto Interview

    Hi. I know this was a year ago but did you end up hearing back from AG and when? I’m in the same position this year, did my VI on jan 6th but have yet to hear anything whereas some people who did their VI later than me on the 11th Jan have heard back last Friday (17th Jan). Is it safe to assume...
