    Fieldfisher 2023/24 Direct TC Application

    Hi @LlamaLaw, I have just received a telephone interview invite from Fieldfisher! May I ask you: 1. How many trainees were recruited in your cycle? 2. "The phone interview will be a mixture of competency, technical and motivational questions", I understand it may be too long ago to remember...

    Thank you @Jessica Booker! Well, I am a law graduate who didn't have much success with summer vacation scheme applications. Hopefully I will land on a paralegal job soon despite it not being a high season in terms of recruitment :)

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Hi @Jessica Booker, I've got a question: When it comes to city law firms recruiting paralegals, are there any particular periods during the year when law firms need more paralegals? Do law firms have a higher demand for paralegals during certain months of the year and thus create more job...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Hi, this is not vacation scheme related - but I have applied to a paralegal role and I have been invited to do an assessment. While the law firm did not give too much away about the details of the assessment - one of the prerequisites, I was told, is to have access to Excel. As I have barely...

    Yes, I am applying for 2024, too. Though I applied around 31st Jan and received the online test invite around 21st Feb. Have you received an email informing you that they have received your test result and are reviewing your application? Legend! @LlamaLaw Thank you and I will definitely ask if...

    Fieldfisher 2023/24 Direct TC Application

    I received a similar email, too. Have to say Fieldfisher is quite transparent, not many firms would actively update candidates on the progress of the application. I also echo with @LlamaLaw (great name, btw 😄)that it is a positive thing to have applications to be reviewed by a person.

    Hi @hunt4tc500 and @IsaacDundas congratulations on your AC invites! May I ask how many questions you were asked during the telephone interview? If I also may ask - what are the broader theme(s) of the telephone interview, were they competency/strengths or commercial awareness related? Thank...

    Fieldfisher 2023/24 Direct TC Application

    Hi @NadineBusty - I am so sorry to hear that - may I ask did you apply for 2023 TC? Also, without going into the specifics of the questions asked, may I ask what were the broader themes of questions (competency/strength/commercial awareness) asked during the Tele interview? And how many...

    I am so sorry to hear @NCLaw, I wish you the best of luck with other applications! Hi, @WhenSuitsMeetsGreysAnatomy, just to be sure, have you completed your online test? And if so, when? I submitted mine roughly last week Wednesday. Let's hope that we will receive a positive response from...

    Ah, sorry for the mistaken impression. I haven't received a telephone invite but just trying to pre-empt the possibility that I might be invited for a telephone interview. Just trying to give myself the maximum amount of preparation time...

    Hi @John Abram, I applied for 2024 TC on 31/1 and received an online test invite this Monday (21/2). Edit: well, you know how it is, law firms may be very keen on sticking to deadlines for clients, but for graduates, well, it depends 😄

    @George Maxwell @James Carrabino I am tabbing both of you because you two have been great moderators for the forum! I thought my chances for this recruitment cycle were getting quite grim until I recently received an online test invite from a firm that has taken a while to get back to me (to put...

    Fieldfisher 2023/24 Direct TC Application

    Thank you! This is already very helpful. Although I suspect that given it's a "strengths assessment", it doesn't sound to me that there will be any verbal element (i.e. video, which I am not very good at). Besides, there isn't much information given in the email. I'd think in such a case, a...
