does anyone know if winter vacation schemes tend to be more competitive than summer vacation schemes?
I think it’s basically equal.does anyone know if winter vacation schemes tend to be more competitive than summer vacation schemes?
Just my personal approach. I did them somewhat distinctly, but did link back to how the things that initially made me want to pursue commercial law were specifically relevant at NRF.Does any one have any advice on structuring this question for NRF - How has your understanding of the role of a commercial lawyer developed, and motivated you to pursue a career at Norton Rose Fulbright?
Is it best to essentially split it into:
1) Why I want to be a commercial lawyer with reference to relevant experiences and their impact on my understanding and motivation(s) for the role;
2) Why NRF and why I am a good fit with relevant reasons/examples.
Or would it be better to structure it in a combined manner, using multiple examples i.e.
1) Example of experience, how this has developed my understanding as a commercial lawyer and then how said experience links to NRF;
2) Repeat the same with another example; and
3) Repeat same with another example.
Would appreciate any guidance, whether that be using one of the above or an alternative approach to structuring an answer.
I don’t think this is an issue given how new the firm is.@Jessica Booker
Would it be lazy/unwise to mention a deal the legacy firm (A&O) advised on and why it interests you - not finding many examples of deals A&O Shearman have advised on.
I think it was 250? Not 100% sureDoes anyone know what the word count is on the upcoming Hogan Lovells application questions? Or remember what the word counts were last year?

Don't know how much this helps, but for their LGBTQ+ Open Day I applied for through AllAboutLaw, it had a character limit rather than a word limit, and I'm pretty sure it was 600 characters per question. That might be an AllAboutLaw thing though, rather than a Hogan Lovells thing.I think it was 250? Not 100% sure
I am having the same dilemma! Their email says that "if you completed our online tests with another application within the last 12 months you will not require to complete the tests again". I completed their test on 19 September last year, so technically it's still within the last 12 months. Might just check with grad recruitment to be on the safe sideDoes anyone know if you are able to take the Ashurst psychometric test again or whether they use your previous scores? I completed the assessment last year but did not progress. I've heard a few people say they keep your scores for two years but not too sure.

When I applied for direct tc this March I didn’t redo the test cause it was within a year from my 2023 direct tc app (only by a couple days). But I applied for the winter vs this cycle and had to redo the test, so I think it’s only a yearDoes anyone know if you are able to take the Ashurst psychometric test again or whether they use your previous scores?

Thank you - this is helpful to know! So it looks like I won’t have to redo the testWhen I applied for direct tc this March I didn’t redo the test cause it was within a year from my 2023 direct tc app (only by a couple days).
