    I find you often have to look beyond the firm's website. In my experience many websites seem outdated and actually provide minimal information on their deals, cases and recent updates. Try looking on The Lawyer, Global Legal Post, Legal 500 for recent cases/clients. I also find a really useful...

    I had my Stephenson Harwood written task on Monday [final stage] and not heard anything yet. What are the timelines usually like for hearing if you have successfully been accepted onto a VS. I appreciate it will differ from firm to firm, but it doesn't take away from how incredibly nerve...

    Hi George, thanks for this. I think it went well. I used sub-headings, included the key information (I think) and thought of a few 'out of the box ideas'. I will let you know when I hear, seriously nervous waiting for my phone to ring. All the best, hope you're exams went well!

    Hi all, well done on getting through to these stages! If you can, I would probably do the interviews within the prescribed timeframe. I presume you are talking about the GDL exams [I have exams on the days you have stated]. Good luck for them! I think it's a testament to yourself and your...

    Just received an invite to Dentons WG! Is it automatic? Does anyone know if the telephone interview (next stage) is solely judged on my WG score or both app and score together? Thanks.
