Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
It was bang in the middle for numeracy, which sounds about right. Don’t know if speed is factored in, but I was painfully slow.I found it really difficult too, probably the hardest numerical test out of all the law firms! if you don't mind me asking, what did you get on your report between the three bars?
The email says it’s a blended assessment with numerical reasoning, behavioural and critical reasoning questions. This was after initial app so presumably interview would be after this!Congrats! Is this the interview?
I see, thank you so much! Oh my, some firms do not allow LPC holders to apply? Do you know which firms?I guess it helps you because you have a deeper understanding of the sector and can exhaustively talk about commercial issue which is good, but I personally do not think it makes you stand out as much. Especially now that the SQE is in place and certain firms do not allow LPC holders to apply. However, you are in a great position and I am sure you will succeed so do not worry too much!
At the moment it’s just Ropes & Gray - I did not see any other firms having this policyI see, thank you so much! Oh my, some firms do not allow LPC holders to apply? Do you know which firms?
Yes completely !! The feedback I got for the pillars couldn't be further from my actual strengths!Question for the RS assessment report…. Mine is so average and gave a lot of negative feedback…?! Did anyone find the feedback confusing and different from the answers you gave ?!
may I ask which office this was for, unsure whether they are synchronised or not? thanks!Sent my VI off on the same day and yet to hear. Chaser email got the response of “thank you for being patient, we’re still reviewing applications.”.
Have you had your VI yet? if so what was it like!Dentons Virtual interview invite , had no idea how the “Legal high potential assessment” went thought I did well but not sure anymore given other applications differing. This is for Glasgow/Edinburgh also.
CMS pfo :/
sorry to hear that , do you mind me asking which office this was for?CMS pfo :/
They will tell you anything you need to bring in the invitation/joining instructions.yo should you bring a laptop or anything to an assessment centre? like if they want you to do a written exercise? or do they give you a laptop/ make you write it by hand?
Which firms besides Ropes doesn’t allow LPC students to apply? Bit worried nowI guess it helps you because you have a deeper understanding of the sector and can exhaustively talk about commercial issue which is good, but I personally do not think it makes you stand out as much. Especially now that the SQE is in place and certain firms do not allow LPC holders to apply. However, you are in a great position and I am sure you will succeed so do not worry too much!
Yes, you’re right. You must satisfy the diversity requirements otherwise you can apply for a TC directly. Applications open in Feb I believeFor clarity, am I right in saying that to apply to Shoosmith's Placement Scheme, you must satisfy their diversity requirements?
From looking at their website, I believe if you do not come under this requirement, you must apply to their TC directly.
Please let me know if I am wrong so I can shift my application deadlines if needed.
Summer vacation schemeIs this for a TC or Vac Scheme?
Yeah had it was a very fair VI compared to others I’ve had, 5 questions with unlimited time to prepare for each.Have you had your VI yet? if so what was it like!
