Register HereI got a PFO last week.Any news from HL? It’s been over a 5 weeks since the deadline…
I don't think they've invited anyone to the video interview and work scenario element as of yet, let alone to the final AC. I may be wrong though!Did you get an invite
so sorry about this. may I ask when you applied?I got a PFO last week.
Not yet! Has anyone heard back?Has anyone heard back from King & Spalding?
If you’re a future trainee at a firm and know you want to qualify into a certain team, would it be helpful to begin reaching out to associates in that team to build relationships before you join the firm or would that be too early and/or not affect your chances of getting that seat at all?
This is true, but:It’s hard to know for sure what practice group you would want to qualify into prior to commencing a TC, as it’s very possible you gain experience in a completely different seat and change your mind mid-way through your TC. I think it’s important to keep an open mind going into a TC and forming relationships with all of the associates and partners there, regardless of whether they are in a certain practice area of interest or not. It’s probably too early at this point to figure out whether reaching out now would affect the chances of getting that seat. I think @Jessica Booker can give a better answer than this though to be honest. 🥲
I would only do this once you are in the firm - it will be far more practical to do it then rather than now.If you’re a future trainee at a firm and know you want to qualify into a certain team, would it be helpful to begin reaching out to associates in that team to build relationships before you join the firm or would that be too early and/or not affect your chances of getting that seat at all?

That’s still technically possible here though! But yes, a month since WG.I thought HL AC invites would be going out by now. I remember seeing people announcing HL TC offers in April last year…
