Do you mind me asking which office you applied for? I applied for LondonHi, I applied to CMS on the DL for apps, and only completed my VI Friday 3rd Jan, so it might be that they're reviewing all?
What office did you apply for?
I’ve applied to W&C and SH already but haven’t heard back. Pretty sure BM and NRF aren’t even open yet for direct TC.Anyone applied to direct TC to any of these firms and have received a return (pfo or invite for next stages)?
Stephenson Harwood
Norton Rose Fulbright
Ashurst
Baker McKenzie
White & Case
Given the deadlines in February, March and July, I don’t know if I should be worried to apply now as the firms are prioritising VS apps.
Congrats! Out of curiosity when do you have to sit it/deadlineThought I wrote the most horrendous app to Goodwin and got VI invite today. Any advice for the Goodwin VI for direct TC? would really appreciate it![]()
Thank you! Yes, you are right, BM and NRF open on the 1st and 3rd of February.I’ve applied to W&C and SH already but haven’t heard back. Pretty sure BM and NRF aren’t even open yet for direct TC.
I am assuming they are slow because they will assess what spaces they have left over for direct TC after seeing what the SV talent pool was like?
Anything from the BBC? I think they said ~mid January - does the 9th count?😅
Thanks! The deadline passed. I got the invite on 3rd Jan and was told to complete it by 7th Jan.Congrats! Out of curiosity when do you have to sit it/deadline
Very sorry to hear that and hope you have more luck with your other applications!CMS rejection today, after VI last month
Congrats on the AC. Please could I ask when you interviewed and when you received the result?Hi all, I have an invite to Fieldfisher AC and just wondered if anyone is able to share their experiences either from previous years or this?
Any idea what a paired exercise involves? Apparently it’s individual case study, paired exercise and director interview.
