What are the views on e-mailing firms for an update ? I've seen a few people on here wondering whether to e-mail, does this pee GR off? I have also been waiting for a firm for a number of months and this waiting game is no fun!


I would also like to know about this! Applied to Taylor Wessing 3 months ago and still heard nothing...not looking good. I might wait until 2 weeks after the deadline passed then call/email
PFO from Farrer, I'm actually heartbroken.....

Has anyone who submitted their applications to White & Case or Mayer Brown just before 31 Jan, heard anything yet?
Has anyone on this thread applied to Morgan Lewis?

Waiting on taylor wessing as well, it's been ages. submitted in beginning of january though so not as long as you have been waiting!
I got my post-interview rejection from Reed Smith today. Thought it went quite well but oh well. In the interview details they said that the interview would be a strengths based one but when I got there I was quite surprised to discover that it was instead a combination of a competency type one and a strengths based one.

Has anyone else had an assessment day at Mishcon and heard nothing since? :/

I got a PFO from Fieldfisher as well. I really want to know what this objective criteria is because I thought it was my best application. Maybe I could have included more of the firm's cases but there's only so much you can include in 250 words.

Have you emailed them?


I am just about to now :smile:
Was the PFO from Olswang after interview or application?

I got this from Farrer today as well. Thought it was one of my stronger applications too which makes it particularly gutting.

Yo all, applied to Macf, A&O, and Charles Russell Speechlys. Had interview at A&O last week, one with Macf in a few weeks but am yet to hear from CRS. Anyone heard from them yet? Best,

Same, and it was the firm I reallllyyyyyy wanted to work for too. Oh well, at least we can still apply for a TC? :smile: Best of luck with your other applications :smile:
Well today has been quite disheartening. Got PFOs from Stephenson Harwood and Ince (post-app). Only 3 more to hear from. Starting to think I should have applied to more firms. How many did you guys apply to?
Travers Smith interview.

9 and I received 2 PFOs, 2 interviews and nothing from the rest - so disheartening when those PFOs roll in!

Sorry to hear that.

Do you mind telling me when you applied? It's been quite a while since I applied so I'm expecting a PFO imminently!
