Is there a way to unregister with Pinsent Masons? I noticed I made a big error in the registration form, should i contact the careers team to see if they'll do it?

This is absolutely incredible and a massive congratulations to you
I would email HSF and ask if you could attend the Spring or Summer Vacation Scheme - I am sure they will be accommodating since you have already succeeded in your interviews so I bet they would love to have you on at least one of the schemes

I have heard Clifford Chance does as well. Besides that, I think a general rule you can apply is that the less a firm emphasizes other major elements of the application process, the higher the likelihood that it places a lot of emphasis on the WG. As such, I would keep an eye out for firms that:
- Have few or no application form questions which require lengthy written answers
- Have no or few entries available on the work experience section
- Have few or no post-WG intermediary stages
- Are not known to be very academics-focused
Just got an e-mail saying the same thing. At least its not a pfo I guess..
Hello, @Andrei Radu @vera.mekhonoshina @Jessica Booker. Could you please help me with how to structure this argument, do I use the STAR method do I just describe tasks which helped me develop competency skills?
Using the three pieces of work experience you have included above, please outline the skills these have enabled you to develop, that are transferable to the role of a Trainee Solicitor. (500 words)

Go to the Law Firms A-Z page first and go from there to see pages that have been updated for 2025
Does anyone have experience with applying to HL vac scheme after submitting a lift off application and doing the WG? Unsure about what to do bc if you meet the benchmark then you don't have to retake the WG but otherwise you do, but HL doesn't tell people whether they've met the benchmark 😅
At a previous event they recommended waiting for the lift off result before applying to the VS, but I'm unsure how long that might take
Thanks, I just have a sneaky sensation we won’t hear back before vac scheme deadline lol
Trowers and Hamlins winter insight day invite!
I’m pretty sure it’s not just if you meet the benchmark because in the email it says if you were previously successful for one of our programmes implying that I think you need to have attended I.e their first year scheme or campus ambassador etc
Idk for some reason I feel like they gave out all offers last week, but we could tho. If we don’t hear today then more likely PFO negl
