Ask Willkie Farr & Gallagher Anything!

[IneedaTCASAP]

Hi @andrecsaa We have approx 20 vac schemers across the year and approx 6 to 7 training contracts. We don't have any assessments once the vac scheme position has been accepted, our reviews are via feedback from the scheme itself.

many thanks

This is an interest way of assessing compared to other US firms. Could I ask why you’ve opted for no assessments throughout the vacation scheme does this include no interview at the end. I know Willkie is known for the people so is this approach taken at an early stage to find those who suit the culture.

In addition to my question above after completing the written exercise the next stage is an interview is this in person with fee earners and how many are invited to these interviews from the written exercise.

Hi @IneedaTCASAP - we front load all of our assessments (application form, video interview, written exercise and partner interview) prior to the vac scheme. There is no need for any further assessment.

The partner interview can be in person or over Zoom, this is up to the candidate. The number invited changes every year.

Many thanks for responding. This is a great way of assessing candidates ensuring they have motivation for the firm before embarking on the scheme itself.
