I would suggest a very succinct, specific thank you email.Can anyone lend advice on what to include in a thank you email to a partner following an interview? My interview ran a little bit long so I feel slightly guilty, but want to reach out right away and thank them for their time!
Congrats! May I ask when you heard back following the telephone interview?Has anyone done the AC at Morgan Lewis who could give me any tips? And actually I'd be v grateful for any tips generally for online assessment centres!!
Hi - the telephone interview was last Tuesday, and I heard back earlier today.Congrats! May I ask when you heard back following the telephone interview?
Me to but I applied on the 13th and it mentions that my portal was updated on the 16th. Don’t know if that’s good news or bad newsI submitted my Freshfields app on 11th July and my portal was updated on 16th but I haven't had any emails...I know they're sending out WG invites so is this a bad sign it's been updated and I haven't received anything?

I heard back yesterday after TI on Friday 16th so looks like they're not sending them out all at once!Thanks!
Cheers, thanks a lot!I heard back yesterday after TI on Friday 16th so looks like they're not sending them out all at once!
I'd also be grateful if anyone can offer advice on the Morgan Lewis AC!
I am in a similar position and have actually reached out to a number of partners to learn about their firms and their careers. It has been moderately helpful – for example, through one connection I was able to have a chat with the recruitment partner at the firm and got feedback on my application which I would not normally have been given. Having said that, training contract recruitment is very centralised and partners don’t have enough pull to actually get someone a TC anymore. If you approach it from the point of view of learning about being a solicitor or getting inside information on the firm, then it’s really useful, but don’t expect help in the actual process@Jessica Booker i would love your view on something! Within my role I work closely with a number of Partners at law firms I want to apply to. My team are really supportive and helping me apply for TCs so there wouldn’t be any issues with doing this. I worked recently with a partner at a law firm of a firm I did an application for. I hate leaning on people for help but I wondered how it would look if I was to drop him a message and essentially ask him his thoughts on the firm? I guess the end goal is try make connections within the senior management of the firm so something good might come of it. Does that actually happen?
It doesn’t tend to happen where recruitment is centralised. One partner doesn’t tend to over influence the process (unless the firm is very small, and there are only a handful of partners).@Jessica Booker i would love your view on something!

Yes.In an application under mitigating circumstances, can you mention that a close relative had died due to Covid-19 which disrupted your studies as well as you also contracting Covid-19 which further affected your studies?
I was planning to but your post has slightly put me off! 😂Anyone applying to Goodwin? Just had a look at their application form and good GOD is it long... :/
