For those waiting to hear back from W&C TC (2026/27): just heard that there’s been more ACs this month …

If only! I’ve had radio silence since post app so have no hope 😭

Paul Hastings said after 15th August. So there's still time I suppose.

Grade-obsessed firm with weird interviewing Partners. I am autistic and still struggled. Best of luck to you though.

In what sense are they weird?

 

[Amjaya]

What firms have opened their winter vacation schemes is it just Ashurst?

 

[Amjaya]

I hope you are joking here.

Maybe they don't do direct now.

Hmm I doubt that but it’s just so rogue to not bother to send the generic PFO email to the mailing list

 

[jmak]

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that, I hope you're having better luck elsewhere!
May I ask if this was post-AC for you?

Yes, I got a training contract offer from a silver circle firm so it's all good. Yes, this was after the AC!

Firms don't seem to care about unsuccessful applicants but they do care about successful ones. Anyone know why?
