Vac Schemes 2012: The early bird catches the firm!

Scroll to see replies

STILL no reply from any of the following....anyone else heard something? I'm definitely assuming it'll be a stack of PFOs...

Covington and Burling, Charles Russell, HLW Keeble Hawson, Hunters, Leathes Prior, Goody Burrett, Silverdale and Hay & Kilner

:frown:
Does anyone know how the training contract process tends to work if you have a vac scheme with that firm?

I've got a Vac Scheme with Addleshaw Goddard, and my application was joint vac scheme/TC 2014, so I'm presuming I won't have to go through another round of phone interview and assessment centre?

I was invited for interview at Covington about 3 weeks ago and had it yesterday. They told me that they would let me know whether I was successful with my application in the next week..
Anyone heard from Bond Pearce or Veale Wasborough Vizards?
Do VWV do a proper vac scheme now? They didn't last year when I looked at them.

Has anyone heard anything from Bristows yet? I put my first choice as their spring placement, but haven't' heard anything!
And anyone still waiting to hear from Clyde & Co?


It seems like Bristows have done some emailing today so you should've got something from them. I got a stalling email explaining large number of applications, will be in touch soon etc, meanwhile a few mates have had PFOs

Congrats! Unfortunately that is almost certainly doom for me as I've heard nothing (and applied ages ago) :frown:

Great shout mate. Thanks a lot.

Now kindly delete your post before word gets out. :wink:



Any other suggestions anybody? :biggrin:

Edit: Neg seriously? I thought it was clear from the wink that I was joking... get a life.


No problem! All the best with the application!

If you are interested in Shipping, More Fisher Brown opens over the Easter weekend. They have no official dates listed, but they do accept applications over Easter for vac schemes.

Not looking good it appears that Charles Russell are my last hope. Has anyone heard anything from them today yet? I swear that their acknowledgement email stated that they would get back to us by the end of March.
