Delighted for you my friend and if my advice helped you in any way then I'm glad! Very well done - you deserve this for all your hard work so make sure you celebrate

Anyone heard back from V&E post VI?

Yes, I heard back from them on 17th Feb- they invited me to an AC

People seem to have received their invites at different times, so I’m not sure what their invitation process is

Has anyone received assessment centre invites from Linklaters the last week or this week?

Hey guys! Does anyone know how long freshfields take to respond after a training contract assessment centre? I had one last week and haven't heard back yet so fearing the worst...

Anyone heard from BCLP for direct TC?

No, nothing at all. I applied at the end of a November.

Has anyone heard from Orrick (VS)?

I applied on deadline day and had an AC with them! I think they will continue interviewing until they fill all AC spaces. I assume they haven't sent you a rejection because your app is somewhat good!

 

[W]

No, nothing at all. I applied at the end of a November.

Has anyone heard from Orrick (VS)?

Same boat as you, also waiting on Orrick, I don’t think they’ve sent offers yet

This was BCLP’s response:

“Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide an exact update at this time but we are aiming to get back to everyone within the next couple of weeks. This is a very busy time for us but we appreciate your patience.”

Also, I haven’t heard anything from Orrick!

Completed the Mishcon VI at 3pm today and was invited to case study exercise two hours later! So surprised and excited, this is my last chance at securing a VS this cycle so would really really appreciate any tips for how best to prepare/what the case study involves. Thanks in advance

 

[M&ALawyer]

Anyone done/doing a Mills & Reeve AC?

Have one tomorrow, and given its just a group exercise and written assessment I'm not too sure how to prepare!
