Clifford Chance and Freshfields hired from NUJS 2023 batch. For most firms, you can apply in your final year (as you're considered a non-law student because the Indian degree is not a UK qualifying law degree). A few firms allow penultimate year non-law students to apply too, research on those specifically. Also learn how to spell the names of the firms (ideally before you apply to them) - it's Baker McKenzie.

Please tell application timelines for vacation scheme applications for firms like Linklaters, Allen & Overy, HSF, Clifford Chance, etc. Also, how open are firms like Latham & Watkins, Baker Mckinsey, and Hogan Lovells to applications from Indian students?

Are there any vacation schemes I can apply after my 7/8th semester?
