Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
You can book via this page on our website.@Jessica Booker as a gold member how can I book a telephone session with you?
Does anyone know the minimum score needed to pass the Ashurst online tests? I have horrific math skills / cognitive math skills (E in GCSE maths lol) and haven't needed to use any maths throughout my degrees and previous law firm experience in London. So I am certain I did quite terribly.
Thanks Jessica . is this likely to be the case where one firm has only one scheme & the other firm cannot accommodate me on the other scheme (but is aware that i have accepted a vs with another firm)?It is unlikely both firms will allow you to only do one week each. It is best to ask if there are alternative vacation scheme dates
The same happened to me. Just received the PFO and it sounded like that…PFO from Penningtons post-app, I have a feeling that I applied too late!
I only received my invitation to interview last week if that is any consolation. I think they have a really long interview/AC periodNothing from Hogan Lovells since completing their WG IN jANUARY
Probably not a subject I'd broach to be honest because it's very murky territory. For firms that have staff in Russian offices, they are now in an incredibly uncertain position as to their jobs which will be putting pressure on the firm. As for clients, you have to remember these are also long-standing relationships that have been cultivated and maintained throughout the years by the firm. I think you run the risk of ending up in a conversation about morality more than business and that's not something I'd ever want to broach in an interview.What does everyone think of law firms closing their offices in Russia? (how to discuss it from a business point of view in interviews), @Jessica Booker would love to hear your thoughts.
I agree but I think it is a topic the interviewer might bring up..Probably not a subject I'd broach to be honest because it's very murky territory.

I actually doubt it - a lot of firms have put out statements regarding their position, which means there will have been an internal email in the firm beforehand stating that if anyone is approached by the press for any sort of comments on the matter to please direct them to a press representative. Having an open discussion about it with you at an interview would put that "united front" image at risk.I agree but I think it is a topic the interviewer might bring up..
thank you!I actually doubt it - a lot of firms have put out statements regarding their position, which means there will have been an internal email in the firm beforehand stating that if anyone is approached by the press for any sort of comments on the matter to please direct them to a press representative.

If someone does somehow bring it up I'd just try to stay as vague and diplomatic as possible. Acknowledge it's a difficult spot to be in and it is a decision that affects a lot of people, and that hopefully it can be resolved swiftly.
ThanksNo - I rang today and asked just that. HR v helpful if you feel like giving them a call.
Haven't heard anything from cooley yetAkin Gump PFO after 60 days of no replies post WG! Thanks Akin Gump super professional! Anyway, Cooley said they were getting back to candidates by today. Anyone heard anything yet? Manifesting positive vibes for us all for the rest of the week let's get after it!!!!!!
