    Seems the better question would be which firms are recruiting! The only applications I’ve seen open are Eversheds and Pinsent Masons. A&L aren’t partaking in the milkrounds this year.

    I don't think William Fry will be doing Milkrounds either.

    AC and MHC are open.

    I’m really surprised and worried that some of the big firms aren’t doing milkrounds. I thought given their size etc that they still be able to recruit trainees

    It's surprising because the big firms often recruit years in advance, and the UK firms are recruiting strong.

    Is the only way to apply to MHC through the summer internship? That’s all I can see

    Interviews, 1st round over zoom next week

    I was told by HR a few weeks ago that Pinsent Masons' 1st round would be 10/11 Nov, so it's getting short notice if they haven't told people yet, maybe they have tho

    I wonder if DE is sending out PFOs I've heard nothing from them at all.

    I haven’t heard anything from Dillon Eustace or ByrneWallace. Should I assume it’s a PFO or do firms hand out interviews in batches?

    Haven't heard back from ByrneWallance, Pinsent Masons or RDJ. Heard back from Philip Lee - offered a 12 month contract/internship to be assessed for training contract in Dec 2021.
    Was worrying about the others but good to know i'm in the same boat as the rest!! :)

    I’m not quite sure what it actually stands for but I think it means a rejection letter/email

    What did you submit as an example of recent written work? I never applied to Philip Lee because it's been a while since I done any academic writing and didn't know what to use.

    Does anyone else get really disheartened everytime they get a PFO? I wish they weren't sending them out during the fe1s.

    Ya definitely! I don't think they realise they're on because they're holding interviews during them too and it's such a blow getting rejections during them

    I sent a recent report I wrote about domestic abuse during Covid-19 and the Northern Ireland Courts, I also attached an essay I wrote during my third year of undergrad on political philosophy (graduated 2019 from Cambridge with a degree in History and Education if that helps)!

    I got in contact with PM regarding the dates of the fe1s and how they clashed with the proposed assessment dates, so they definitely know they are on! I know it isn't their fault that the fe1s were pushed but its affecting my studying.

    How long was your essay if you don't mind me asking? I read the brochure and it says 500 to 1000 but none of my previous essays are that length.

    Not at all! I actually didn't see that on the brochure and sent an essay off that was 2,500 words... I applied and was offered an interview later that evening. I was really impressed with how they conducted the process.

    They only offer training contracts to interns, I didn't know this and sent off an application for the training contract. Hope this helps!

    That's amazing thank you! Yes I'll send in one of the same length now :)
