Hi all sorry I know this isn’t related to vac schemes but I had a paralegal interview on the 30th (Thursday) and they said they would get back to me the following week (which was last week). They haven’t so should I send a follow up email today or wait a little longer?

If anyone has any insights in the Morgan Lewis telephone interview, I’d be eternally grateful. They are my last chance on any succes this cycle and I’m really desperate for this to go well…

Hey! Not sure if this is helpful but I did the TI two cycles ago for Morgan Lewis. You can PM me if you want any insight at all.

If anyone has done an AC with Fieldfisher (particularly for DAS) and has any advice, that would be so appreciated, we're struggling out here 😭

Just generic interview of why FF/law and basic competency.

 

[aphelion]

Same for me! Probably will give them out Monday

Mine just came through BTW

Does anyone have any tips for Mayer Brown SJT and verbal reasoning test? Thank you so much!

 

[applicant457]

I didn't get the rejection email for HL. Does this mean my application is still under consideration or have all the AC's basically been done?

Which office?

London

Does anyone know if Taylor Wessing still has a group exercise in their ACs? They don't mention any group elements in the briefing they've given us, just a commercial exercise and a competency interview, and the commercial exercise doesn't sound like it's a group task.

I'm really anxious at the prospect of a group task so confirmation either way would be so so helpful!!

Morgan Lewis telephone interview invite; does anyone have any insights? I never had a telephone interview; only the classic video ones...

Congratulations! Out of curiosity, when is your AC scheduled for?

I have a Gateley Video Interview to do. Does anyone know if once you've received the questions its timed, or is it just when you answer the question that its timed (ie, a 2 minute limit).
