    In short, Best Friend networks market themselves as having links with the best firms for a particular task in certain jurisdictions. Non-BF network law firms might have offices in a number of locations that are relevant to the client but the office might not be the 'best' in that jurisdiction...

    Just received a VI request from Mishcon de Reya! I applied for the summer VS on the deadline (15th Jan) for anyone that is wondering. Does anyone have any information/advice to share regarding the VI?
