I emailed Dentons and they said they’re still going through the applications.

They gave no timeline i presume?

Has anyone heard from S&C (pfo or put on hold)?

I received an on hold email in mid-June. Wrote to grad recruitment last week to update them on my latest grades and then told that they will get in touch after the deadline

 

[SemperParatus]

when did you apply?

On the deadline, but that’s not a bad thing right as they’re not reviewed on rolling basis

 

[Eeeazyyy8]

They gave no timeline i presume?

No timeline, but they stated they’ll be in touch “soon.”

Trying to upload my cover letter for Sullivan & Cromwell but the error message “User is not authenticated to upload file” keeps appearing. Anyone else with the same problem?

WFW anyone?

I know someone who just got a tc offer following their summer vac scheme and said they are still sending offers. So I imagine after they deal with all vac schemers they will get back to us :/

Hi guys,

I have a couple of interviews (for a job and a TC) lined up and was wondering what kind of questions do you ask at the end of the interviews?
@Jessica Booker, do you have any tips?
Thank you in advance

 

[EzeLaylor]

idk if i was imagining things, but i genuinely thought the freshfields TC deadline was the 1st of august so i completely missed it

in other news, i got invited for a VI at eversheds sutherland a few hours ago for their TC - you win some you lose some!

I thought I saw this deadline too. Maybe they had a lot of apps and decided to close early

Oh well - all the best for your VI!

I don’t think there is a type of question as such. It is more about asking genuine questions about the opportunity or the employer that will help you work out whether it is the right one for you. Try to think of it this way, what information would you need about the opportunity/working environment that would influence your decision to accept/decline the role.

Any advice for Morgan Lewis TI? Much appreciated

I have an AC coming up with a written exercise and group assessment. Both are one hour each. Can someone provide an example of the type of written assessment or group assessment that can be done in an hour? Can someone with experience with TC AC's please provide some tips and go through what they did in their AC?
