    Huge congratulations! Lovely way to start the week that - have they said anything about how the scheme is likely to take place? What're the provisional dates if you don't mind me asking?

    Why a higher ratio of fee earner to partner hours results in a higher profitability?

    I'd really recommend Duolingo Alice! Best language learning site there is (at least for Spanish in my opinion) and it's free!

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    In a cover letter I always end with 'yours sincerely, my name' as if I was sending it to the person via email or by post and I did the same in my BM app if that helps!
