when did they call you out of interest?Was wondering whether anyone with a SH summer vac scheme has received their offer in writing following the phone call?
I only applied for summer and did my test just under 2 weeks agoI thought SH hasn't sent out tests yet for summer, and they had only just sent out spring VS offers
A friend of mine had her final AC last week and they’ve all already heard backHey did anyone apply to the summer legal internship for bbc and heard anything back after the second stage?
Hey I’ll be on the scheme too, how do you know this?For GD there are already 20 of us so they are probably looking for 2 more people.
It is literally just that. A one hour exercise, you get an hour and a half to prep for the presentation which is wayyyyy too long. The day is very chill tho.Can anyone give any insight into Orrick's AC - its 6.5 hours but only has a written exercise and group presentation?!
It’s part of their early checking process.Hi, sorry to ask again, but does anyone have experience of slaughters contacting referees and what it could mean/what they ask ?
Can you just update your voicemail to say you are abroad and change your settings so you cannot accept calls?This might be a silly question but do I need to let firms i am waiting to hear from that I’m going to be abroad the next two weeks, just in case they call (i hope) because of international call fees? I don’t want them to think i’m presuming an offer but also wouldn’t want them to incur a cost.
London is a small space, we have mutuals and I believe they are now working as a consultant in private equity/credit!![]()
Interesting.
LLB (first class) from KCL
A*A*A* from elite London private school
Macfarlanes paralegal. Went to AC for TC in 2023. "repeatedly accessed information that was confidential and which she knew or ought to have known she was not entitled to access, namely documents including a Business Case Study Exercise, model answers and the mark scheme, for a training contract assessment day she attended in August 2023."
I can only assume this was accessible on the intranet/network. Lied about having done this (which is really dumb, because IT knows EVERYTHING).
Subject to a S43 order meaning that she cannot work for any regulated legal business without prior permission from SRA.
Ah, are they likely to have a decision before this check ??It’s part of their early checking process.
They often check academic references in particular before deciding offers to ensure your grades are what you have said they are and that there aren’t any conduct issues with your time at university.
Thanks for the insight. Assuming you took part in yesterday's, did you get a sense of how many ACs they're running and when they'll let people know whether they have an offer?It is literally just that. A one hour exercise, you get an hour and a half to prep for the presentation which is wayyyyy too long. The day is very chill tho.
Very likely real - I know Chris too and he wouldn’t make this type of stuff up.Honestly is this even real or is the bloke just engagement farming?
Literally zero reason not to name the firm.
Could be, but could easily be waiting for that information before deciding too.Ah, are they likely to have a decision before this check ??
I wouldn’t say “most” firms at lenient on resits. There are enough out there that do not allow resits and will rescind offers - whether they then clawback money is another matter though.Clifford Chance and Macfarlanes have rescinded offers in the past. Last year, I’m sure there were people who were told that they had failed the SQE but they had actually passed. Despite that, their TC offers were rescinded. They were future trainees at big city law firms. I think it’s a policy that TC offers get rescinded, but most law firms are generally lenient about it and allow at least 1 retake. @Jessica Booker will know more about rescinding offers and whether it’s common.
Discretion is often applied based on circumstances.They were probably applicants who flunked it hard - unless we are saying these firms rescind all TC offers?
London? The whole legal profession!London is a small space, we have mutuals and I believe they are now working as a consultant in private equity/credit!
If you mean you replied yesterday, I would wait until the end of the week before chasing up. If it is was last Monday, then it’s okay to follow up.I received an offer for a vacation scheme last Thursday afternoon, and the firm asked me to reply before Monday. I replied the same day confirming my attendance, but I haven’t heard anything back since. The scheme starts on 14th April. Should I follow up today or it’s normal not to receive a response yet?
There isn’t a set time but I’d generally say around 90 minutes each way is commutable distance. Many people working in law firms are doing that type of commute anyway.What is a commutable distance for travelling during a VS? Is there a set time that determines if you are within a commutable distance for a law firm? @Jessica Booker
