Addleshaw Goddard Application

[Andrew M]

Could you please share Addleshaw Goddard vac application?

It's a completely different application this year than for the last cycle (different questions, different format, different word counts) so I'm not sure it would be that helpful to you!

Hi! for this year's application, there is question about D+I: Diversity and Inclusion has moved up the agenda in recent years, what action should law firms be taking to ensure that they are creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace?
Should I be giving ideas that AG is not currently implementing? Or, as they don't actually mention the firm in the question, should I be giving generic advice that would apply to any law firm?

I'm currently working on my application. I was intending to answer more generally and then link back to initiatives that AG has/does not have. For example, I know that they have changed a few things in their recruitment process over the past couple of years, in a bid to improve diversity.

I know there is a 2000 character limit, but if one of my answers is around 1850, is that ok?

Thank you! I basically did the same thing!

What is the application process for AG's vacation schemes. I have just read this on Chamber's Student which confused me: "The firm chooses vac schemers directly from their application forms. Meanwhile, following a preliminary video interview, around 70 of those applying directly for training contracts are invited to one of several assessment centres."

So there is no tests, interviews or ACs for the vac scheme?

If you like, I've made a successful application to Addleshaw Goddard, which I would be more than happy to share For the third question, I remember talking about the firm's Client Development Centre and AG Integrate.

I'm currently looking to apply to Addleshaw Goddard! Any advice / tips would be great! Particularly regarding question3. Thank you!

By question 3, do you mean 'what are our USPs'? In my answer, I predominately talked about the firm's approach to service delivery and how this benefits AG's clients. So it might be a good idea for you to do some research on what kind of services AG offers and how this compares to what its competitors offer.

For the vacation scheme it is: application form, video interview and assessment centre. I remember reading that on Chambers when I was applying too and it is incorrect.

It's a voice recorded interview but apart from that you are correct.

Ah okay. I went through the application process 2 years ago so they may have changed things since then.

Yeah, they changed it last year to reduce potential bias

Apologies for bumping an old threat but what is generally expected to go in Is there any additional information you would like to disclose for us to consider alongside your application?

Is this more of a mitigating circumstances question or a "just put anything you think is relevant here" question (e.g., languages, achievements etc.)?

Thanks!

When I applied, I think there was a separate section for mitigating circumstances. I assume it is a space to add anything else you think is relevant, but it may be worth contacting Grad to confirm.

hey sorry just saw this hope you're still active on this website! I am currently doing the TC application. I don't find it particularly difficult but definitely really confusing. When it asks for qualification am I right in assuming it is asking for individual module marks, A-Level marks and employment? It's very confusing
