Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!

I'd still go for the vacation scheme:
From the website: "However we strongly recommend that you apply for a Vacation Scheme rather than directly for a Training Contract; the vast majority of our Training Contracts each year are offered to high-performing participants on our Vacation Schemes so that is definitely the most effective way to secure a Training Contract."
It's hard to tell how many vac scheme places they've filled up, but even then I'd follow their advice.
Judging from their website I want to say non-rolling as the interview dates seem to be after their deadline, however they may have held other interviews before too!
Hi, when I emailed Burges Salmon, they do review applications on a rolling basis but only confirm if they will interview/reject you in August after the deadline. Not sure if it helps but I thought I'd post it.
Also, Goodwin Proctor recruits for their VS on a rolling basis and for training contracts only after the deadline. This was confirmed by graduate recruitment to me last year.
Hope this helps!

I couldn't track anything down online about this, so I've sent them an email. I'll let you know if they get back to me.
Just FYI, the automatic email they sent back did say: "We strongly recommend you apply early", but does not mention a rolling basis.

Their FAQ suggests they do, just that they don't fill all of their places: "...However, while we review applications throughout the year, we never make offers to fill all our places before the application deadline. So if you haven't heard from us in the meantime, your application is still under consideration."
I have sent them an email just to confirm.
Fantastic ! Many thanks for this replyThey confirmed that they do not recruit on a rolling basis. All applications are considered after the deadline

Hi!
Not sure if this is the right place for this cycle but does anyone know if Pinsent Masons recruit on a rolling basis? I can see in the first post that you were unsure Jaysen but not sure if this has changed.
Their new website says both of these things:
"After the deadline, we'll review all the applications and if you're one of the ones who best meet our requirements, we'll ask you to take an online psychometric test."
and
"Please be aware, if a vacancy becomes oversubscribed, we will close it for applications before the stated deadline. We recommend you submit your full application as early as possible."
Hopefully, someone might be able to clear this up!
