Didn’t they tell you this as well at the AC?

They mentioned April but not mid april

 

[johnnysins]

Anybody heard back from V&E post-AC?

 

[3000to1shoteverytime]

Yes mid-April to allow the ACs to take place at all offices and for decisions to be made for all offices and results at same time was what they said.

Hi can I check for those who did the AC, was there a presentation included as part of the written exercise?

 

[1tcplease]

Has anyone heard back from aspiring solicitors for their ethnicity pathway placement scheme with Stephenson Harwood? Their last email said they’ll get back to us by the 7th of this month

Nope I haven't heard back as well unfortunately, I'm guessing those who made it through got a reply back?

Thanks! How did you all find it? I have it this Thursday and want to make sure I’m looking at the right stuff when prepping

Sorry to hear that. Can I ask what scores you got on the assessment if that's alright?

 

[Legalgirly]

Has anyone heard back from Debevoise following the Open Day?

Has anyone heard back from Debevoise following the Open Day?

Some people heard back directly after their open day apparently - so even before they held the last open day. I did mine on the 18th of Feb and haven’t heard anything yet :/

I think some people heard back last week. I haven't heard back yet, not sure if that means I should be expecting a pfo lol.

Nah and they didn’t say when we’d hear back either.

Neither did Mishcon for those waiting post-VI

 

[Wompycapy]

Also, if I still haven't heard back from W&C post VI and Latham post-app I guess it's reasonable to assume a PFO from both, right?

Well the thing is we also haven't seen many (if any at all) people get offers or AC invites from Latham or W&C, maybe except for the earlier ACs Latham conducted but that was only for fast-tracked candidates like campus ambassadors. I'm still waiting for Latham and I don't have my hopes up, but I also won't assume the worse...Good luck!

At the bottom of my email from WBD with the test invitation it says they aim to get back during the week of 3rd March. I’m assuming they need a bit longer as it doesn’t seem anyone had heard back yet!

Reed Smith Post AC pfo. I don't get it, I answered all the questions well except maybe 1. I addressed all the issues in the case study. Is it worth putting in a DSAR?

 

[Chris Brown]

Best of luck to everyone waiting for Paul, Weiss and Willkie (post interviews). Hopefully we all get good news this week! 🙂​
