Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

[JoNo]

I also haven't heard. When did you guys apply?

I applied at the beginning of November, when did you apply?

 

[JayB]

I also haven't heard. When did you guys apply?

I applied on the 5th Dec - no response either

 

[DavidJC]

Sorry to hear that, when did you find out as I'm still waiting to hear

Have you done the test? I haven't heard from CMS since I submitted the application so I haven't even gotten a test invite yet

 

[J32]

Has anyone heard back from Bakers post VI?
Also anyone have any tips for Latham VI - just looking to know how many questions and whether its competency focused/commercial focused?

Have you received an invite from Latham?

 

[Daniel Boden]

You could be in a hold pile
They could be rubbish at turning people down
You could have got "lost" in the system due to a technical or human error fault

Hopefully 1 or 3

Hey! Just wondering, when did you submit your Latham’s application and when did they get back to you?

 

[Jessica Booker]

Hopefully 1 or 3

If 3, you will need to contact them!

As far as I’m aware CMS has started to hold ACs and all VIs must of been completed. But still hold hope!

Hopefully 1 or 3

Dechert’s recruiters have changed this year. I applied in November and received a VI invite from them mid-December. So I think it’s best to email them now mate! Your app is probs lost

Jessica - if 3, then when do you think it's most appropriate to contact them?

If 3, you will need to contact them!

Can 3 apply to reed smith? I haven't heard anything back from them since an email that said "we are working through things" sometime in December. They have implemented a new recruitment system this year (I had to email my answers!!!)

 

[Alice G]

Alice - when is it? I am catching up with an ex-A&O colleague soon (who has far more recent insight than me), so can ask them

Oh my goodness @Jessica Booker that would be incredible!! It’s next Thursday!! Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated thank you so so much!!

 

[Jessica Booker]

Jessica - if 3, then when do you think it's most appropriate to contact them?

When you haven’t heard back and it seems most other people have.

can apply to any firm

ls anyone else waiting to hear back from BCLP?

From the thread it seems a few have received rejections, and one person got an AC invite.

I am curious to know, since I applied around mid December.

 

[Alice G]

I’ll let you know if anything comes up from the conversation

that’s so kind of you @Jessica Booker, thank you!

 

[Faye]

Yep, I'll draft my experience and post it as I've got a lot of PM's
