Thanks. I'm expecting a PFO soon as I applied early Jan and haven't heard back at all.

Yaap, went to one in January (and received a PFO shortly after, ha). They're really lovely - I actually ended up quite enjoying the exercises.

No, nothing crazy. The written and group exercises were commercial awareness-based, and the interview was just about the firm and expanding on your application. Nothing out of the ordinary :smile:

As mentioned above the group and written exercises are okay. The interview seems to vary depending on who you get - mine was quite commercial and focused a lot on the role of a lawyer. Good luck!

You're being watched every second of the day so don't let your guard down! Exercise-wise they are all quite straightforward and keep an eye on the time!

Definitely emailing if Linklaters haven't offered WG/rejected by the end of this week


Was thinking about doing the same. I received some offers but was putting them on hold since I wanted to see if Linklaters would take me. The wait is killing me!

No, nothing yet as well, but someone did post around a week ago saying they've had a phone call about an AC but it seems no one else has yet.
Interviews for Bristows (video interview) and RPC this week - any tips from those who have already done them?
