    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I just got the research questions and it's a bit... archaic? to complete the questions (within 5 days) and then send it to them via email in a PDF....? What's the point of the apply4law portal haha. They seem pretty succinct apart from the last one. Some of their applicable core values are...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I'd submit it anyway and hope for the best. Not sure if you should bring it to their attention (so maybe wait for other users to comment too) but I'd do it anyway! Hopefully it works out!

    How to talk about law firms work?

    Hey! So my advice would be is not to use that kinda language. Not because it's inaccurate, but because it's super generic. Firms themselves say that their peer firms do high quality/diverse array of legal work so for us to say it as applicants means we're just being generic. What will be...

    Mine's the same. I suspect they've made a decision and we'll hear back today/tomorrow. I know that all rejections/offers aren't sent out at once either so it's a waiting game I guess. All the best!

    Debevoise & Plimpton (20/21)

    Hi all, Thought I'd create a Debevoise thread as I've seen a few posts here and there regarding the application. Is anyone else stuck on: Please tell us about a recent commercial deal that has captured your interest. If you could represent a side, which would it be and why? (300 words) I was...

    Herbert Smith Freehills App

    I think they're recruiting for Spring atm so you may not hear back until they've wrapped up that applicant pool. I applied for Spring, passed the test and haven't heard back yet. Checked the portal too and nothing has updated there apart from "Application under Review" ://////
