    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    Just wanted to say I took the VI yesterday (and it went veeeeery badly for me) and there actually was a big motivational question (which required good knowledge of the firm and its work) in there.

    Congrats on getting an AC! :) May I ask how long it took for you to hear back post VI?

    Video Interviews

    I've completed the interview and what I can say is that the practice VI really does help. There's no way to predict what question you will get though, for me it was mostly strength-based + one motivation question, I got none of the ones Daniel got last year nor any of the ones I got in the...

    Bird & Bird VC application form

    I think in researching a particular sector (for question 1), it could also be interesting to have a look at what Bird & Bird lawyers themselves have written about it. They do write quite a lot of articles on different topics (you can easily find links to all those on their linkedin etc.) and...

    Video Interviews

    Hi, you might want to check this thread (https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/bird-bird-video-interview.1857/), Daniel Boden shared his experience from last year and it seems there's little use in sharing questions as we might all get different ones ! :) Maybe the practice ones...

    Well done! Congratulations and good luck :) Could anyone tell me if Bird & Bird sends you a test report after completing the WG?

    Hi, may I ask how long did you have to wait after the initial application to get the VI invite? Good luck with everything:)

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    I don't remember my VI super super well but I do know it was fairly straightfoward like Why law, Why you, Why Bristows although not worded that way. My main tip is to relax and have a few arguments ready for those questions without having too much of a pre-written answer either so you can be...

    Hello, would anyone be willing to share how long they waited before hearing back from Bird & Bird after first sending in their application? Many thanks :)

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Thank you for your kind words! It's a little disheartening because my results for the WG was quite good so I thought I stood a chance with the new process (and I'm actually a graduate). But that's just how it is, on to the next one for me :) I applied on September 25th and did the WG on...

    Fieldfisher Online Assessment

    Good luck to those taking the test and those waiting for the next step! :) Do let us know! I submitted my application on Wednesday last week and still haven't heard anything, hopefully next week.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    This is very likely! Not to mention, they may also offer to transfer some people currently still on hold to the Spring Scheme if after the ongoing ACs they find the Winter one to be fully booked.

    Fieldfisher Online Assessment

    It may be a very different test then. If I remember correctly, last year the invitation email even included a link to useful (and free!) practice tests. If they didn't include anything like that this time around, then very likely no prep is needed. Also I believe this year the testing happens...

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Thanks :) Oddly, I received another "under review" email today, exactly the same one as in September, as though I had just taken the online tests o_O Maybe it just means my application is really under review this time lol

    Fieldfisher Online Assessment

    I don't know about this year, but last year it was a "standard" verbal reasoning test and a logical/inductive reasoning test (with the shapes and stuff). It does seem like they've changed a couple things in their application process this year though.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    I got the under review email on 27/09 and still nothing. :( My WG results were 38/40, 97th percentile.

    Bristows Interview
