Don't panic about something you cannot change. Focus on what matters now: prep.Just realised I got a Hogan Lovells AC invite yesterday but my email filtered it out. The email says to choose the earliest slot possible because they recruit on a rolling basis but when I clicked on the link, the earliest one they had was March 2.
Anyone know when their ACs start/started?
Hi! Congrats on the AC invite, they started on the 14th of Jan (2 AC slots per week since then), but it goes on till March 16th so they're very likely to have enough spaces available at the March 2nd AC, so as @Celestie said don't worry too much about it!Just realised I got a Hogan Lovells AC invite yesterday but my email filtered it out.

I'm wondering the same thing :/Seeing W&C give out VIs today while my inbox is empty, should I assume a PFO?
Hey does anyone know of any good resources where I can find firms' deals in which they worked against their competitors?
Second that. I usually find a firm's deals off their website, then google something like 'ABC acquisition XYZ lawyers' and generally something will come up that names the major firms involved.Unfortunately detailed information on things like this is usually pretty hard to find without a premium subscription to sites like The Lawyer. Your best bet would be to start with The Legal 500 rankings, make a note of any notable deals that the firm has worked on and then do a quick search on Google to see if you can find additional information on the other firms in the deal.
I wouldn't assume that just yet because they are sending them in batches based on when you applied. From what I've seen on the forum they sent them last Friday for the earlier spring VS apps and last night for those who applied closer to the deadline.Seeing W&C give out VIs today while my inbox is empty, should I assume a PFO?
If the deal involves listed companies there will also be a lot more information made available. Check the wires/rns etc for releases.Unfortunately detailed information on things like this is usually pretty hard to find without a premium subscription to sites like The Lawyer.

what does Baker Mck look for?
Nice one! Did you find out today and when did you apply? Heard nothing from them!AC invite from Cleary! so so unexpected!! If anyone has any tips please message me!
Got two PFOs today and at this point, I'm just very grateful to have progressed into the test and interview stage especially with it being my first official application cycle! Although disappointing, it really provides me with crucial experience for the next (and hopefully last) application cycle! On that note, I was just wondering what are the plans (or were) for third-year international students who are desperately on that visa time crunch! Would love to hear about your experiences
That’s fine - not an issue at all. Would be common for competitors to come up in such a question. It’s much more how you explain why you have applied to firms rather than the names themselvesIf a law firm asks you where else you applied is it okay to mention that you applied to their competitors? I don’t know if that will look bad

Thanks for the heads upNope! I believe there was a group exercise running yesterday (Friday) and that was the last of the ACs, so I think we'll hear back after the weekend.
