Anyone know why Kennedy's, Irwin Mitchell and McDermott and Emery only have TC's for 2025/26 and not for 2027 yet?

Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
Did you receive an AC invite after successfully passing the written exercise? If so, may I ask when you did your written exercise?Anyone who has done a Dechert AC please message me ASAP
dont they only have around 25 spaces per scheme?do you think there will be more w&c wvs offers coming soon
Some have 2000 characters not words.This may be a silly question but for some applications I can see a word limit of over 2,000 words - do firms really expect us to write this much? How many words do people usually average?
Reality a lot of these questions will over lap with other firms and you’d have an answer for them already. Extra curriculars, hobbies, something you’re interested in, teamwork, leadership etc. Therefore you’re not really writing 2000 every time. I’d suggest you make a word doc with answers to these questions and edit them as you see fit to each firm. Also explain a commercial story is one that firms use. These answer can be repeated and adjusted to each firms practice areas to show a link. Work smarter not harder.This may be a silly question but for some applications I can see a word limit of over 2,000 words - do firms really expect us to write this much?

yeah but i’m not sure how many spaces are filled updont they only have around 25 spaces per scheme?
Hi! No, they don’t but the Graduate Recruitment team is usually in the room when you read the case study documents so you can’t really look at your phoneNot sure if this is a silly Q but at AC, do firms tend to take your phones away before doing a case study exercise for example? Thank you
They don’t take them away but they don’t expect you to use them at the same time.Not sure if this is a silly Q but at AC, do firms tend to take your phones away before doing a case study exercise for example? Thank you
In 'why do you want to be a solicitor' questions is it ok to have the more generic reason of the intersection between business and law as long as you are backing it up with evidence and examples?
Yes this is true. It’s why I went ballistic when I passed the WG for CC recently!Once you successfully complete a Watson Glaser assessment, we save your score for 2 recruitment cycles so there is no requirement to re-complete the test within this time frame. - This CC website, does this mean if you fail now, you will not be able to retake the test in next cycle?
Also, at an event I went to at CC, the graduate recruitment women there implied that their WG does cut out a lot of people, so I imagine it has a pretty high benchmarkYes this is true. It’s why I went ballistic when I passed the WG for CC recently!
Given the circumstances it’s a huge impediment in the application process, so you’ll really have to nail it!
