Does anyone know whether HSF ACs are rolling in that I should book the earliest AC date available to have better chance? I booked the latest date and now wondering whether I should maybe change it to earlier one? Thanks x

It's fine dw I had a AC at A&O, and I booked the last date(for my week I think). I didn't get it, but most of the other candidates did! So, it doesn't really matter, if you perform well, you will get it. All the best!

I might be wrong but I don’t think it matters. If you meet the criteria they are looking for, they will make sure they recruit you! :)

    I could've sworn I read somewhere that they could be used to redeem application reviews and other rewards somewhere then as soon as I started collecting them I couldn't find that post anymore and I wonder if I was just hallucinating

    Haha you weren’t hallucinating - we’ll have a credits system up and running very soon!

    Hi, has anyone heard back from Morrison and Foerster after their first stage interview? Was told that they would get back to me this week but they haven't done so and I was wondering whether I should give them a call....

    Does anyone have any tips on how to learn a firm's industry/sector strengths? E.g. how do I know a firm is leading in oil and gas? Thanks in advance :)
    Personally, I use Legal500 and Chambers Rankings, google (for example) “IP UK Firm Rankings”, and click on both those sites, and you will see a tier list for virtually every firm.
    You can click on a specific firm and read about there sector strengths in a bit more detail on Legal500/Chambers if you wish, although I personally find that of limited use.
