Yess I did their AC last year and the analytical interview had no law at all. It was just business
At some point they literally told me put myself in the shoes of a CEO / investment fund manager for some questions - hope that helps!Freshfields AC too!!
So for people who have received FF AC now, you guys all opted for Autumn 2025 and was asked to change intakes right? Anyone who opted for Spring 2026 received anything?
Received FF AC invite yesterday!! This is my first AC ever, would be super grateful for any tips on how to start preparing. Also, if anyone's done an AC with them previously, can I pls DM you? Thanks! 
Anyone received an official AC invite, without asking changing intakes?
Hi everyone, I am new to this thread and thinking of applying through the direct TC route (currently in my final year of my degree). I have not had a vacation scheme although I have various work experience/volunteering/firm open days. Is it worth applying, or am I likely to be unsuccessful? Thank you for your help in advance
Congrats! Which dates were available to choose from?Received FF AC invite yesterday!! This is my first AC ever, would be super grateful for any tips on how to start preparing. Also, if anyone's done an AC with them previously, can I pls DM you? Thanks!
There's no option to choose dates yet, they just asked if I'd be willing to interview for 2026! They did mention that ACs start from 6th March
Many people go the direct TC route instead of the vacation scheme conversion route. It sounds like you have plenty of legal experience so I reckon it is definitely worth applying to direct TC's if that is the route you would prefer.Hi everyone, I am new to this thread and thinking of applying through the direct TC route (currently in my final year of my degree).

Personally, I don't think so. The people who received a response from FF are all about changing intakes (as they chose Autumn 2025), while I haven't seen anyone getting an AC other than that. Don't think the current emails are official invitations as well, as there are no links to book slots. I guess FF will send all the proper invitations out either today, Monday, or Tuesday.Wait so FF have sent out all of their AC already damn((((((((((
Not sure which intake did you opt for haah. I guess we can only wait and keep hopes high.
Joining this forum because my VS applications haven't been going too well. Is there ever a 'too early' application? Someone on the VS chat said they got rejected because of applying too early whilst someone else said that they got rejected from a firm because 'a month in advance of the deadline is too late'. I'm sure it varies between firms but would like some advice on that @Jessica Booker

When someone is rejected it is not because they applied too early from a date perspective, but more so they may have benefitted from doing more research or building their skills set/experience up before applying.
Applying late can take a risk that the firm fills all its interview slots up if the firm recruits on a rolling basis.
