Ive seen some places offer positions for newly qualified people at PE firms and in-house legal counsel overseas is another optionAgree with the uncertainty of NQ positions since most firms still offer training contracts. So I’d assume such NQ roles would go to the ones that have undergone training as trainee solicitors but not sure. There doesn’t seem to be much information on it
That's unrealistic.Officials
even so, they should realistically have way more than just 2? Unless theres like 50+ people ok each AC?
When do you graduate from uni?If I haven't done the SQE/am not currently doing it, when is the earliest I can start a TC? September 2025 or will it have to be in 2026?
No - that’s in a fairly “normal” word count range we have seen in the past.is 775 words for travers cover letter too long lol
awesome thank you!No - that’s in a fairly “normal” word count range we have seen in the past.
That's unrealistic.
They likely have a winter, spring and summer scheme so they will probably aim for 30-35 per scheme and leave 10 spaces remaining for direct training contract ppl
To me it would be very normal to only do two ACs for one vacation scheme, especially when that scheme starts in less then eight weeks. This sounds very typical to me, especially when they will have three other vacation scheme dates throughout the year to still recruit for as well.The most recent assessment centre I did was for a direct TC at Baker McKenzie. There were 6 ACs, each 6-10 people competing for 15 places. Previously, I was one of 4 ACs for Forsters and there were over 20 people at my 15. Which is why I am saying that it doesnt seem normal to me that a firm like HSF only does 2 ACs for a vac scheme. Especially since a vac scheme is their only recruitment route.
Nice one, I'll have a look. Thanks.No, and thanks. There is an open day you can apply for- if you are interested I would recommend applying to this and then drafting your application afterwards.

Hi Rebecca, thank you for your reply, I'm not sure what's going on, but I have tried twice to send an email to the K&S London recruitment address outlined on your website, to apply for the insight day. Each time I do so, I get an automatic response informing me that my message has been blocked.Hi there, we do not recruit on a rolling basis.
