[futuretraineesolicitor]

[tealzeal]

[Iwantatcpls]

Anything from Stephenson Harwood? 🥲

 

[lolololol]

anyone heard post-vi from w&c?

Some not even had a VI

The email I have just received says they will now consider my application and result. I am a little confused as the initial email upon receiving the MMAT said we reached the next stage, but a few people have said they think the test is automatic.

Does this mean I have just reached the benchmark from the MMAT?

Got the same email. The test is automatic (at least it is this year). The MMAT is not really a next stage. The probably forgot to change the wording in the email.

TC offer after my 5th cycle, bowing out gracefully 🙇‍♀️
Good luck to everyone else!

Has anyone heard back from W&C post the video interview? If so, how long did it take to progress to the next stage or get a PFO?

What a wonderful way to bow out!

Congratulations and incredibly well done. Perseverance is a very important quality to have when you are a lawyer, and you will have had that in bucket loads to keep going over the last five cycles.

You definitely deserve one of my cheesy standing ovation GIFs!

Anticipated forum downtime:

Hi everyone - just to mention you may find it difficult to access the forums this afternoon (around 3pm) for around an hour or so as we are doing some technical work to upgrade our servers.

I applied on 9 June but they couldn't process my application until 4 July because I hadn't gotten all my grades back from uni until then. I got invited for an interview two weeks later and then did the interview two weeks after the invitation.

May I PM you with some questions?

 

[TeeTee123!!]

Hi everyone,

I received an invite to the Mayer Brown trainee simulation assessment and feeling a bit overwhelmed as to what I can expect. Does anyone have any tips on how to prepare for it or any insight as to what I can expect?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone heard from Stephenson Harwood? It has been 3 months since I applied...

Just got a TI invite after the video interview (which I did last Friday)!

 

[user3883930]

Congrats on getting to the TI! Can I ask when it is scheduled for?

Yes, I have had a VI with a commercial question before!
