I'm seeing some posts about Freshfields asking for applicants to consider 2026 - I wanted to apply for their summer Direct deadline; does that mean it would only be for 2026?
Tbh I don't even understand why there is limited availability for Autumn 2025😂😂I thought we are the first batch of people who can apply for autmn 2025 haha

For my slaughters interview I have to take my passport but for HSF they haven’t mentioned it @Jessica Booker is it expected that candidates would bring their passport along? Should I take it just in case?
No need to take it if they haven’t requested it. Some firms will do right to work checks at the interview stage, while others will do this either on your first day or sometimes between the offering being made and you joining the firm.

Non-law vac schemers last year are likely to have gone forward for 2025. If they have converted a higher number of them than expected and had some deferrals from earlier recruitment rounds, it is pretty easy to already have filled them.

It might also have something to do with the SQE assessment dates too.

Oh and they will probably be holding some spots back for the summer vac schemers too!

Thanks a lot for the explanation Jessica!
