I believe they are secretly rolling…
From my understanding, ROLLING means that they hand out TC offers before the official deadline... Non-rolling means (1) that they look at no applications until after the deadline, OR (2) they look at applications and move people onto the next stage, but do NOT hand out TC offers until all applications have been read and progressed to the end stage, hence giving everyone who applies before the deadline a chance.

Hey there! I’ve linked this thread to provide more context on the proportionality of VS and TC applications between firms - https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....eme-vs-direct-tc-applications-2024-2025.9147/

I’m in the same boat! Haven’t heard anything after initial TC application
Me either! I just asked about this in the SV thread (thinking it was this one) and somebody said grad rec said to them that it might take a while!

I also found MB unusual because they didn’t have any questions! (I’m ok with that because I think I have decent experience) but it did feel unnerving at the time!

I think it is common for most firms. Though recruiting from both, Addleshaw Goddard has sent invites for next stages for VS but none for direct TC.

I had emailed addleshaw to provide some additional info about my degree and they mentioned in their email that they have only started reviewing applications so they will get back soon :)

Hope this helps anyone curious about addleshaw!

Good to know, last year AG held AC around February and March, and sent VS offers a couple days later. I suspect this year will be the same for TC. We should hear from them early in January.
