I've always understood that they recruit mostly from Vac Schemes- this appears to be a theme across a few of the American firms with small trainee intakes in London, I suspect, because the intakes are so small, they want a more rounded assessment to ensure the right candidates get the places.
Ed: That said, you'll never win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket, so if the application is open and you have the time to make a go of it, I would tend to suggest doing so
I'd highly highly recommend you apply for a VS as like most US firms that have a smaller intake, they won't even look at direct TC apps unless they haven't filled up their trainee intake from the VS
Just been invited for the VI today!
On that note, if anyone has any advice, id be grateful!
Congratulations! All the best for your AC
p.s Linklaters is non-rolling so it wouldn't make a difference when you apply as they only review applications after the deadline.
Email from NRF- screening apps over the next two weeks and holding assessment days in May! Good luck everybody
