    White & Case Applications 2020/21

    No not at all. Even if you wrote Dear Sir/Madam then that wouldn't be an issue. As long as you observe the correct formalities of a CL (and so write the correct name to address it to) you'll be fine! It's on the FAQ page.

    Reed Smith - Research Questions

    Hey guys, Does anyone know whether the 5 days is a strict time frame for Reed Smith? Not sure whether I'll be able to get it done for tomorrow lol. That being said, I really like how the test is first. If only they tested first and if successful, you move to the next stage of the application...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hey! I wouldn't tbh because it's usually an automated email and very early in the process. Even if you respond, they may not see it or reply. It'd be better if you got the telephone interview and thanked them then (unless that was automated) or during the call itself. It wouldn't harm your...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hey! Don't be sorry at all! It's so disheartening when you have your heart set on a Firm and do things to the book. I had this experience with Clifford Chance recently. I really thought I had a chance as non-priority candidates and as someone who did the AC with them last year. The super...

    Which law firms recruit on a rolling basis? (2020-21)

    Does anyone have any guidance on Lathams at all? I read somewhere in the forums that Latham VS is rolling but I'm super sure it's not. Would be good to get some confirmation if possible

    Ask Alice G (Future Trainee at Freshfields) Anything!

    Hey Alice! Me again... lol! Hope you're doing well! And your loved ones are happy, safe and healthy! I saw that you responded to @cgs97's thread on checking out of the TC process. I'm feeling the same too. My biggest concern is that I'm also a graduate (Law 2018). I'm 24 and I've also been...
