Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

[Serenalaw]

Hi I am new to this thread. I am really desperate for any advice on Clyde and co / Macfarlanes / bird and bird / dentons / Mayer brown Acs
I can offer advice from experience at ashurst or hogan lovells
And VI advice from Mishcon and Simmons.
Thank you so much in advance!

Winston & Strawn interview invite!

When did you apply?

Yeah so the paradox is that every AC/interview I have there are particular questions or exercises I trip up on, and next time I learn from them but it's something else that trips me up. But I agree. Part of my prep for this AC was reflecting on what went wrong last time. Which is why I think I get better. I'm just not there yet.

I'm only waiting to hear from one firm atm, which is Simmons Simmons for summer vac scheme. I will be applying to summer vac schemes and direct TCs at a number of firms such as Clifford Chance, Macfarlanes, Osborne Clarke, Shearman Sterling, Reed Smith, Norton Rose Fulbright, possibly Baker Mckenzie. They're all so different but I have my reasons haha

Hey Hazal!

Did you apply to Osborne Clarke's direct TC?

Has anyone heard from Latham yet? Last year they were fairly quick to send out VI invites post-deadline, so I'm wondering whether I should take their silence so far as a PFO...

Lathams GR team changed this year, that could be the reason for the delay?

HSF rejection after not reaching its benchmark for the online test - I took the test on the 11th of January but didn't receive my result until I emailed yesterday, so those still waiting it might be worth emailing

This seems like a logical explanation I don’t think anyone has heard from Latham either way which suggests perhaps they are waiting to send responses at once? It would seem like they are not opting to do things in stages as many other firms tend to but that’s my guess
