Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
What I would stress, is just because someone finds a subject more difficult, doesn’t necessarily make it more difficult for everyone. Difficulty is a very subjective matter, which is why trying to define someone’s intelligence by degree subject or university attended is pointless.
Thank you this is so nice of you.Also if anyone wants to reach out to me regarding my application I'm more than happy to send it across
For W&C, mention the international nature of the firm, the cross-border deals, any deals you found interesting (and justify) and most importantly, why it all relates to you. They pride themselves on their international nature, so if you can say you're interested in that PLUS why that makes you an excellent fit for the firm, that's a great point to mention.
Thank you!! I've found Simranjeet's WG cheatsheet and her Legal Amity Workshop last weekend useful but I keep getting the nuances wrong however😟😟
Hey - sorry to hear of the rejection from BM. It is great you are powering on, resilience is key.
Hi @JPH,Hey - sorry to hear of the rejection from BM. It is great you are powering on, resilience is key.
Regarding your question about W&C (secured a TC offer with them), I know people at the firm and couple of my friends who secured ACs with W&C had sprinkle of 2:2s, one even had an overall 2:2 in his second year. It doesn’t purely matter about your grades, at least you have graduated with a solid/strong 2:1. They are looking for a candidate who can showcase their skills (check out their website) and they really pride themselves on their international outlook, so tie this in with yourself/own experiences. Like all firms they are looking for a well-rounded individual, academics alone do not define you.
If you want to chat further about this, PM me.
All the best with the application
From what I have heard about White and Case they review your application as a whole and if you don't have good grades then you can still progress past the application stage. This is what White and Case are known for that they review the whole application regardless of grades. But make sure that your experiences make up for your grades like you should have lots of experience. I hope this helps.
Macfarlanes I don't think so and Dentons I applied in February 1st and have not heard back for Dentons direct TC.
It’s not too late at all. They don’t close until 31st July and most people won’t apply until they have this year’s academic results.
hey - yep I got an email on Monday (12th) to book a slot next week!
Hmm ok thats really weird - haven't got mine yet and they haven't replied to my follow up email
