Also had the same experience with Shoosmiths! Was rejected because I had never used DocuSign before… like I managed to get a degree, I am sure I can learn and did learn in my current role lol
Anyone heard back from HFW. It states they’re rolling and I applied a few weeks ago.
Clifford Chance Training Contract:
I attend their insight day so thought I’d share the timeline of the application process although it’s on the website this is what graduate recruitment stated. I hope to see less panic regarding this firm on the forum given the information provided answers most if not all timeline queries.
20/11/2024 - Deadline
W/C 02/12/2024 - Video interviews will be sent, this will be sent closer to the end of the week than the beginning.
W/C 16/12/2024 - Those who successfully passed the video interview will be invited to attend an Assessment Centre in their London office in the last two weeks of January these invites will be sent towards to end of the week.
End of January - Assessment centres are taken place and you’ll hear back with an outcome within 1-2 weeks.
Extra information:
1. All invites and rejections are sent at the same time to avoid rumours or uncertainty I ensured to ask this given the absolute mess most firms have been this cycle for their winter vacation schemes.
2. Once you pass the application review and are invited to the video interview your application will no longer be a factor and it is merely based on your video interview and assessment centre performance.
3. There is a cap on how many are invited to video interview and assessment centres. do not know what the cap number is.

This is really insightful, thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing this!! It's really lovely that they've been so clear about the timeline.
This is a bit of a basic question but could I just check if it's rolling or non-rolling? I'm not sure if I've understood the Extra Info Point 1. correctly but I think it suggests perhaps non-rolling?
You don’t know anyone who improved their interviewing skills after almost AN YEAR?

That’s amazing news!!! Congratulations.
And you totally should believe it, you worked very hard for this opportunity. Hope it goes well for you!! 🎉
Thank you! It was on Monday, 11 Nov
Hi all- I’m wondering if anyone has some advice on applying to Taylor Wessing?
I’m especially interested in what they look for in the cover letter and how’s that’s different to ‘What motivates you for a career in Law at Taylor Wessing and what key skills would you bring? {provide answer of 2500 characters}’.
Thanks!

DLA post AC rejection🥲 I don’t even know what to feel 🧍🏾♂️
Keep your head up ! The fact that you made it to the AC means that you have more than enough potential ( as they are SO competitive) . Honestly I’ve been there ( trust me ) and it’s best to firstly , try and do something to keep your mind off it , something that makes you happy . And secondly don’t let it stop you from either applying again next application cycle or put you off law altogether. Your vacation scheme and Training contract will eventually come! Have hope 😊
My friend attended CMS event yesterday and they confirmed CMS are not rolling.
