    @Jessica Booker i have looked to book train tickets to an open day and the ticket prices are £200. 200 great British pounds ridiculous. I live in the UK. The email the firm sent regarding reimbursement states they’ll only reimburse up to £150. Is it best to decline my space on the open day. I...

    I would rule out Covington.They only select 50ish to interview stage and that’s overlooked by partners grades etc are taken into account. Unless they do 2 batches I’ve given up hope. Ashurst is a rejection they’re dragging the process on. They could’ve rejected applicants post test if their...

    I’m sure they place great emphasis on the Capp assessment.

    Ask Willkie Farr & Gallagher Anything!

    As a trainee/ associate you’d be expected to produce work within a limited time frame and for that work to be up to a high standard. Attention to detail is a key skill and I would’ve expected this to be reflected in the work produced throughout the application process, VS and then on. However I...

    It’s automatic and they’ve been sending them out for a while. I got my WG invite 2 days after I applied.

    My TC journey!

    Interesting read and great selection of firms. I applied to HL. Not sure it is screen prior I applied on a Saturday and received the test 2 days after on the Monday. I do not believe they read and progressed me in such a short time. I have a friend who interned at Sully and it is very Oxbridge...

    I did a little better than you and haven’t received a VI. Passed the WG 3 weeks ago. Many others are in the same position. It sucks.

    This whole time I thought you were female 😭 Apple - gave off earthy female aura. No offence meant just a new revelation.

    This was such a dramatic response. Just say they probably do not review summer applications this early on and not to worry. Everyone is learning how the process goes.

    Did you get a feedback report. I’m not sure what my score is. Good luck to you also. Although I don’t think I performed well happy to have completed it.

    Finished the Mayer brown testing. Very long. However, the tests are definitely a great source of identifying the qualities of a lawyer. I would do these tests 100 times over a Watson Glaser. I spoke to graduate recruitment and although the email states the first section is untimed they do...

    Does anyone know Mayer brown values/what they look for in trainees. The website is awful in terms of information.

    I’m no HMRC but I would say you have the right to work in the UK. You don’t need a work permit your citizenship should suffice especially if you have an NI number. Surely you can say N/A to the question as it’s not applicable to you.

    I think they got a TC in the Belfast office. Your figures sound more suited to England.

    I think it is £75K. I spoke to someone who secured a TC there but I cannot remember if it was for the London office or not.
