    For anyone applying to Brown Rudnick - I am currently polishing my covering letter. I realise the firm has stipulated the letter should not be longer than one A4 page in length. I have used size 10 font (calibri), and am currently sitting at around 563 words. My piece just fits within one...

    I thought the same. I'd prefer a zoom interview to a TI or pre recorded VI any day though, so not complaining. That is of course only if I get past the dreaded WG.

    Morning Jessica, Re. Freshfields app, they said at an open day that they don't require GCSE's but on the vantage page you cannot submit without at least entering three GCSEs. Slightly confused as to what to do, should I just enter them all?

    Morning, everyone! I’m a bit confused about the Freshfields application process through Vantage. Am I correct in thinking that GCSE results and a CV aren’t required for Freshfields itself, but they are still mandatory fields on the Vantage forms? If that’s the case, is there a way to bypass...
