    They’re non-rolling so I doubt we would hear anything until after the deadline :(

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Unfortunately the way they've created their application process means you can't really prepare like you might for other firms, it is just how well you do on the tests, there is no A-level requirement and they recruit from all universities. For the CAPP tests I didn't do much and my links app was...

    You can register for their question time sessions at the moment, I went to one last year and would recommend it: https://www.jonesdaycareers.com/en/locations/united-kingdom/undergraduates-graduates-postgraduates/events-opportunities-to-meet-us

    Hi guys, I applied for Sidley last year for a VS but then discovered I'd applied a year early :oops: but in their email informing me of this they said they were 'impressed with my application and we hope you will consider making an application in the next academic year', I am wondering if a)...

    This year they had 2 training contract places, one for law and one non-law. In terms of vacation scheme places there were around 10 I believe.

    Given my experience with them this summer I could imagine that being the case or that they haven't decided yet. They only take on 2 trainees for a TC, one non-law and one law. They told me they looked into taking an additional non-law trainee but couldn't (hence why I've been put on their...

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Hi guys, wanted some help. I applied for the links winter VS last year and made it to an interview and then didn’t get a spot. Now that I am a final year student is it worth applying to the VS again or doing the direct TC app? I have no idea which is the smarter route to take and they are my top...

    To be honest that is exactly what I thought, anyone could say they were the ‘back-up’ and no one would really check into it (I do actually have an email for it ;) ) so I was thinking to just leave it out. I would prefer to get an offer from any of the firms I am applying to in all honesty...

    Hey all, feeling a bit deflated as I had a VS this year and later discovered that there was only 1 spot for a TC to do the GDL and that I was the ‘silver-medalist’ as they put it. I’ve been told if the person who received the offer declines I will get the offer but I don’t want to rely on that...

    Allen & Overy "Introduce a new law" question for VS application

    No the VS was with Deloitte and from what I can see the VS is open to any penultimate or final student plus graduates from any degree.

    Allen & Overy "Introduce a new law" question for VS application

    I've just got to this question in my application and I am wondering if it is better to apply for a VS or the direct TC as the question is in both applications. I did a VS in july (virtual obviously) and will graduate in 2021 (non-law) so don't know what the smartest move is given I applied to...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi! In various applications when I am writing about my work experience is it a bad idea to mention I was offered a graduate role? The role is at a bank and I do not want to be a banker so I don't know whether to just say that I did the internship or say that I got an offer at the end of it, any...

    How important is it to get more than one vac scheme? I’m worried that by not doing multiple I’m not likely to get a TC :(
