They hold 5 ACs this cycle for 60 people. The first one was 21 Jan and also one on 29 Jan. Not sure about other dates.I e-mailed RPC today btw asking if more ACs are to be held. whether they will reply - or give a proper answer - is to be seen.

Have Travers Smith given out all interview invites for the Summer Vac Scheme or do they give them across a few days?
Hi @Chris Brown I just wanted to jump on here to clarify something, because it is really important to me. We run a completely fair and transparent process, which is based on each candidate's application and progress through the various stages. Having connections with partners/associates/trainees, whether on LinkedIn or personally/professionally, doesn't factor in to the process in any way as it is inherently unfair. We don't ask whether you have connections to the firm at any stage of our process. Please do bear in mind that everyone's LinkedIn profile is their own personal online space, and grad rec teams wouldn't monitor who partners/associates have as a connection etc. If a partner (from any firm) has requested a LinkedIn connection, that is their personal choice, and would not be linked to the grad rec process.LinkedIn is the most common one for sure. I have had partners view my profile and then later on send me a request and I’m sat there like wtf should I do or say, this is normally supposed to be the other way around or something lmao. It actually scares me every time because I’ve no idea what their first impression is of me at all. 🥲
I remember the one that caught me off guard the most was when an international arbitration partner from Willkie viewed my profile and then requested me. I felt like I had just won the lottery but I was equally stressed out at the same time. Similar story for a competition litigation partner at Willkie who did the same thing. I hope they liked what they saw. I also hope it gets me extra brownie points for Willkie. 🥲
Hi Gemma, I thought that firms ask if you have any connections to ensure that the person is not involved in the recruitment process.Hi @Chris Brown I just wanted to jump on here to clarify something, because it is really important to me.

Many firms do ask this at the application stage to try and help the scheduling process for interviews and assessment centres. However, many firms don't ask this in the early application/recruitment stages but manage this same process at the point of when they allocate candidates to assessors. In these instances they ask assessors to disclose connections to the candidates they are assessing (and then swap them out if there is one).Hi Gemma, I thought that firms ask if you have any connections to ensure that the person is not involved in the recruitment process.
@Jessica Booker sorry to tag you!! but would you be able to provide insight on this?Hey Jesscia, thanks for this! Alternatively then, do you think it would make sense to talk about (again, taken from an article on FT) how discussions of 'the UK having less regulators' will impact clients across various sectors?
Also, should I be referencing specific clients?
hey, I think they have only done a few. I emailed them last week I think and they said they were still looking at VI's for AcsHi, has goodwin completed all ACs for vac schemes?
