Anyone heard back from Wiggin?

Anyone know when to expect the results of the Howard Kennedy VI? I thought I remembered them saying at one point but can't find it anywhere so idk if I imagined it

Hey they said we would hear back by the end of June. Then AC's are mid July and TC offers are given by end of July

Thank you so much ! But damn, was hoping it would be as quick a turnaround as after the WG hahaha

 

[CP2000]

they said they'll get back to everyone after deadline

Do you know how many trainees they take from their direct TC route?
Their website says they mainly recruit from VS.

Their VI’s are next week.

 

[desperateTCseeker1998]

coming up to 9 weeks! and after i called them on Thursday last week, i was told i’d get a response that same day, but I still haven’t..

What else did they say? Wondering if anyone has got a response and if anyone will actually be being progressed...

Nothing from BCLP or TLT
I did not apply to the others that you have mentioned

is there any point applying to firms with rolling deadlines that are closing in the next couple of weeks?

Most firms review all applications received before the deadline even though they have RB so I would recommend so

 

[SolicitorHopeful]

Anyone heard back from Wedlake Bell? It's been ages since their deadline

And to be fair firms like Dentonsare rolling and close apps in 7 days but still have not reached out to many people if anyone.

 

[RiverJules]

Anyone else heard from Farrer ? Almost definitely a rejection at this point, just want to know already.. hope they're not just planning on ghosting

 

[lawyerletsgo]

for those waiting on Wiggin - they said they will get back to us from the 14th onwards and nothing will be sent before this

 

[crl227]

Has anyone had an update from Penningtons Manches Cooper?

 

[desperateTCseeker1998]

Looking unlikely that Orrick will be sticking to their estimated timeline.. has any one heard?

After passing the proofreading test, I have just been invited to a first interview.

No, but I know they are doing vac schemes this week so they are probably busy - my colleague advised that she didn't hear back (last year) until mid June ish so hopefully we hear soon!
