What was this?

"we are in the process of reviewing.... "

For anyone who has applied for Hogan Lovells. How long do they take to send out the WG invite? Thanks

I think they send it out individually (they send it to everyone, its not selective) but I got mine a few weeks after I applied

@axelbeugre
Would you say the Interview for Goodwin is heavily commercial based like the application questions or more getting to know you?

Trying to figure out what prep I need to do as I have 3 weeks and an AC prior 🤔

Congratulations on getting the interview!

Here is a link to the post where I shared some tips on the Goodwin interview. I hope this is helpful: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-164503

I would say that the interview is more motivational than anything (at least mine was). It is divided in a motivation part and an oral case study part (which was not too long for me). I would say to prepare both your motivation questions and your commercial awareness but I personally would not say that the commercial part is more important. If anything Goodwin puts an emphasis on recruiting interesting and nice people so that is what they care about the most.

Best of luck and congratulations once again!

I did not get this, how weird. This is for the vacation scheme, yes?

I still haven't received it even after a month of sending my app.

 

[KTD]

For those who submitted an app to Brown Rudnick, did you receive a confirmation email?

I emailed them a few days ago and they said they haven’t sent any WG invites to TC applicants! So we just have to wait

Sweet, thank you. That gives me more time to practice.

I was about to ask the same question. Nope!

 

[LillyandSilver]

Still no answer from Irwin Mitchell post VI. Anyone else? Feeling like I should just count it as a rejection at this point.

 

[LillyandSilver]

May I ask which firm this is for out of curiosity?

Sorry just saw this, I think it was Harbottle and Lewis.

 

[Tamaranou]

Has anyone applied to Clyde & Co Middle East TC?

Yes i got an invitation to do the online test! Note sure whether that is the next stage or if they send th test to everyone

I got it today as well, and it’s not automatic. So congrats 👏
I don’t know what to expect and the email was unclear. Do you have some insights about it ?

 

[aolpsi]

Is anyone yet to hear from Slaughter & May?

 

[amrita6399]

Does anyone know how long it takes Bristows to get back after the VI?

 

[TonyStark]

Is anyone yet to hear from Slaughter & May?

I’ve not heard back but I’ve seen on here a couple people get an interview/rejection so I’m not sure what to think!

no for direct tc.
