    NRF Telephone Interview

    Hi - I did not do the interview with NRF however I did a telephone interview with Morgan Lewis - different firm but still a telephone interview. From what I understand, questions are similar.

    Norton Rose Fulbright Training Contract Application 2025

    I do not know 100% but I would say it is probable to receive an invite next week.

I did that with some firms to get an idea...

    Norton Rose Fulbright Training Contract Application 2025

    Hi - not all WG invites are sent on the same day so there is still hope you may receive a WG invite :) Also the Watson Glaser test invite is not automatic, so they do a first screening. If you are successful following the WG test, you will receive an invite to a telephone interview. Hope...

    They actually do; I had similar questions during a practice test and an actual test :). PS: I mean in practice tests online, not the one sent by the firm, they would most definitely use other questions for their actual test!

    I checked last year thread for Paul Hastings and it seems some people heard back around the 15th of August for the first stage. Some people were still waiting in October after the second stage from what I read tho.

    Hi, thank you so much for the insight! It seems impossible to practice beforehand indeed. I will keep my fingers cross (and practice for the WG test). I can relate, I had covid when doing the WG test for Fried Frank and it did not help my case. well done for completing it whilst feeling sick...

    My Journey to a TC

    In terms of training, from what I gathered the main difference between US and UK firms is the formality of the training. US firms are known for giving early responsibilities (as you mentioned the small trainee cohort plays a part), a lean team structure and offering less formal training. I guess...
