Official Vacation Scheme Thread 2015!!!

Thank you very much!! I not going to choose the russia/ukraine crisis but how would that affect linklaters or law firms in general?

No problem! Hmmmm I'm not too sure myself apart from I know some law firms have said that they haven't been getting much work in their Moscow offices since there has been a decline in interest in doing work and deals over there because of what has been going on.

How many firms are you guys applying to and what do you think is the best number of amount to apply to? also do firms get angry when you submit the application right before the deadline?

Most teams will have had no one in between 25 Dec to 5 Jan, or at best had one person in just to cover the phones/emails.

Things will pick up next week once everyone's back in the office.

Most law firms have shut their London offices on Friday 2 Jan.

I have been in contact with a number of individuals in different firms and keep getting out of offices saying someone will respond on or after 5 Jan.

I think it was an SHL. You just have to follow your intuition- the first answer you come up with is usually the right one. I also find it quicker to read the questions first and then the paragraph containing the information. It's not very hard :smile:

Good luck!

when answering commercial awareness questions, do you have to put a source from where you got it from? e.g. professor Phillip or time magazine stated that or would you just word it yourself as your own?
