    Ask Willkie Farr & Gallagher Anything!

    Good afternoon @WillkieGemma, I had a question regarding those picked for a training contract following the vacation scheme. Is it solely based on how well the candidate completed the work given to them or are other aspects also taken into account? For example, would working well with other...

    Ask Reed Smith Anything! ⬇️

    I saw that RS has represented both claimants and defendants in regulatory matters such as antitrust – is this common for Reed Smith, does this make a difference in terms of the firm’s capabilities, and do you think that it makes for more well-rounded individuals? Also, I wasn’t sure because of...

    Ask Willkie Farr & Gallagher Anything!

    Hi @WillkieGemma Just curious, but I saw on the firm's website that the final stage of the application progress is a CV-blind interview with partners and/or senior associates. This might be a silly question, but is it also written assessment-blind, as in would they know the score applicants...

    this is kind of random, but does anyone else register/login to allhires (whichever firm) and then get a huge influx of spam emails abt ads and stuff. Noticed that they only start appearing when i sign up to a new firm to apply or check my progress. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Ask Willkie Farr & Gallagher Anything!

    Thank you so much for clearing it up, I always hear different things about written exercises for different firms and am never really sure. Just one more question, how is it decided who goes through to the interview stage? Is there a threshold that has to be met, and every applicant that...

    i apologise for yet another question, but since there is a time limit, is there a allowance made a few grammatical mistakes here and there since we don't really have much time to review? Also, is the goal really just to get out as many ideas and cover as much as possible or is the structure of...

    Good morning, Thank you so much for the clarification. I was also wondering if we would be allowed to write up the answer in a separate document, and then paste into the window? I typically type in a specific font and various other settings (font size, line-spacing, etc) that make it easier...

    Good afternoon @WillkieGemma Whilst I of course understand you can't give out much information regarding the written exercise so that its fair amongst candidates, I was wondering if you had any general advice for success? Or maybe some information on what are the most common mistakes that...
