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

[Alice G]

For improving marketing I was mainly thinking thought leadership like reports and guides around topics impacting potential/existing clients' businesses
For ensuring the best service I though the main thing would be having a real knowledge about the clients industry/business issues and also being proactive in terms of interacting with clients outside of the work the firm does for them

I agree with @Jessica Booker and think outside the box thinking can really show your tenacity and ability to think commercially. I would also add that with the first question, it might not just mean marketing the firm to clients. Remember to think beyond what you might first see/think, it could well relate to marketing the firm to potential hires, both prospective trainees and qualified lawyers currently at different firms! this can add a whole other dimension to your response and show your breadth of thought

Also understand what the firm is already doing in this space and make sure your suggestions go beyond or are different to what they are doing already.

Hey everyone! Has anyone heard anything from Reed Smith re Assessment Centre invites? Has anyone also heard from Pinsents and Travers Smith?

Any news re travers?

 

[Lulu76]

Has anyone heard back from Addleshaw, I applied on the 31st July but haven’t heard anything. Apparently they respond back to applicants within 3-5 days but another said they’re reviewing ECs.....

 

[Caitlin]

Have just had rejection email from Pinsents! Also is it just me still waiting to hear from BCLP?!

 

[Sana]

Any news re travers?

Nothing yet! You?

Hi Caitlin, If you don't mind me asking, which office did you apply for RE Pinsent? - I am awaiting a response but haven't heard anything yet. Would have thought they would mass send e-mails.

 

[Caitlin]

Of course - I applied to the London office on 25th March! Just seen someone else who has been rejected so possibly good news if you’ve not heard?! Good luck!!

I am still awaiting a response RE Addleshaw Goddard, although they do recruit on a rolling basis (I applied on the 31st as well). Will keep you posted should I hear anything.

Has anyone heard anything from Dentons after the WG test or from Paul Hastings?

 

[Natashaa]

Nothing yet! You?

Nothing too

 

[Roland]

Nothing from Travers as well

 

[LawGal]

Nothing from Travers. Got an invite from Pinsents to do the online test.

 

[James Michael]

Nothing from Travers. Got an invite from Pinsents to do the online test.

Did Pinsent Masons recruit on a rolling basis this year for their TC? - I can't seem to find much information regarding it and i know on TCLA relevant page it says they 'may not' - not sure if you have any knowledge of this - but if you do that'd be great, cheers! (Also, good luck with the test!)

Has anyone heard from Cleary or Sidley?
Also my Freshfields portal has updated on the 6th but still no emails from them, probably nothing good...

Same with me, I know other people have already received WG invites
