I understand Baker McKenzie are rolling basis. Does anyone know if rolling basis actually matters for Baker? as I know for most firms it is mostly irrelevant.
Hi there,
In my experience, the rolling basis has actually lived up to its name, with firms genuinely reviewing applications and shortlisting candidates as they come in. While some firms may take a more relaxed approach and not extend offers until later in the cycle, I’ve generally found that rolling means exactly that, so applying early can make a difference.
I’d recommend not leaving the Baker McKenzie application to the last minute, though still ensuring you take the time to research the firm and back up your answers with personal experiences. If you’d like to learn more about the firm before applying, you could also speak to future trainees or other members of the firm to gain insights that could strengthen your application.
On the application questions themselves, I remember someone mentioning that the Baker McKenzie app has about five. If you need any help maneuvering those, feel free to drop us a message, we’d be happy to help!
