1L with some ties to the UK here. Above median at a T30. Any UK firms (not necessarily even Magic Circle, even Silver Circle, etc) hiring American 1L SAs?

OP here. Which firm is it and what if you don't belong to the magical crimson kingdom?

I know someone at my T30 got an offer for a 2L SA at Linklaters, and he wasn't top 10% (more like top 15%), so I figured I might have a shot.

Herbert Smith had a 1L program a couple of years back I think. Your connections to the UK are only really relevant if you're applying for a spot in the London offices. For NY, I don't think they care at all.
