If I get asked how my applications have progressed, do you think there's no point saying I have any other ACs then because they are very different firms? And just say that I am waiting to hear back from those firms that are similar? I haven't actually applied to that many firms (around 20-25 mark) but I could see how that would be implied!

I have one next week so interviews are still ongoing. I got the invite a couple weeks ago and I booked one of the last slots available to me. I'd say its unlikely if you haven't heard yet, but they do send out PFOs so its worth keeping your fingers crossed!
For anyone who's done the Mishcon VI, how many questions are there? Is it fairly straightforward? 😭😭❤️
Hi @Andrei Radu ,
I hope you're doing well.
I'm reaching out as I will soon be taking part in the partner interview at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, which is the final stage of the Vacation Scheme application process. Shahana suggested I contact you since you've previously completed this interview.
With that in mind, I was hoping you might be able to offer some suggestions, tips, or guidance on how best to prepare and perform in the partner interview.
The email I received mentions "motivational questions (both personal and commercial)." I would greatly appreciate it if you could clarify what is meant by commercial motivational questions.
Thank you so much in advance. I look forward to hearing from you and would really value any advice you can share.
Best wishes,
Adrian

hi, they're not really case studies but what i find really helps for ACs and is free is going on studocu and accessing previous SQE notes. especially as an undergrad who is unfamiliar with a lot of commercial legal jargon i find it quite helpful and i'm pretty sure it's the main reason i got a vac scheme last year. a lot of them are much more detailed than you need but they can be quite helpful e.g some spell out what specific things to look for during due diligence, the importance of warranties and indemnities and the benefits and drawbacks of debt and equity financing- all hot topics for a lot of ACs. it's free but you need to upload some of your own notes to access others.
anyone ever had an application succeed where it was lowkey riddled with typos (okay I've spotted 3 where there's just an extra word or a fullstop missing due to lots of editing)
Yep, pretty straightforward no curve balls.
hi guys has anyone else not heard back from MoFo???
Can you please confirm if it is 1 minute to answer? Is the VI competency based or mix of competency and motivational?
Last year, I didn't get the pfo until April, but hoping it's good news for you guys.
Pretty sure the answer's a yes. But, if you get rejected for a VS at Stephenson Harwood, you have to wait until the next application cycle to make a VS/TC application, right?
have you heard anything yet i got the holding email end of jan but stil havent herad anything back fromn Latham since i dont know whetehr to assume it as a rejection
I’m in the same boat and assuming PFO
same have you seen anyone have any Acs or anything
Does anybody know if Stephenson Harwood sponsors visas for their placement schemes for international students?
Is it a good idea to use notes on Word on the side during an online Zoom interview ? don't know if they will notice my eye sight shift constantly between the notes and them ? @Jessica Booker or anyone w any thoughts ! @Andrei Radu
Heya, I'm also still waiting for a reply from Links. I think the person who mentioned that the last set of ACs didn't mention whether they were referring to summer or spring. From my understanding, some of the PFOs sent out this week were definitely for spring - i'm not sure whether many have been sent for summer yet... Whilst i can't guarantee that there will be more invites, I think that it might not necessarily be the end of the roadliterally in the exact position 😅 I'm assuming pfo since I saw someone say Links' last set of ACs are running next week
All the best for the week ahead 🍀
Hi! I have a TC offer with a firm and I have signed the contract. But I have also just received a vac scheme offer from another firm. Can I still do the vac scheme with that firm? It's not prohibited in the contract but should I disclose this to the firms on both sides? Will this be frowned upon?
Yes including to the vac scheme. This year one reached telephone interview. Some were easy mistakes to make. Other mistakes not so excusable though.
