    Does anyone have experience with applying to HL vac scheme after submitting a lift off application and doing the WG? Unsure about what to do bc if you meet the benchmark then you don't have to retake the WG but otherwise you do, but HL doesn't tell people whether they've met the benchmark 😅

    Sectors are the industries in which they work (pharmaceutical, tech, life sciences, etc), practices are the areas of law that they specialise in, or practice(M&A, tax, antitrust, etc), but usually multiple practices apply to the same sector and viceversa :)

    I submitted my CC app and there is a horrendous typo (half a sentence is missing). I received the WG link and it says that if I don’t complete the test before the deadline, they will withdraw my application. Does anyone know if you can reapply in the same cycle after your application is...

    Thank you! If the practice areas of the firms is not necessarily very similar but they have similar training styles/core values/vibes, is that something worth mentioning? Or is it best to stick to practice.

    Apologies because I am sure this has been asked before, but when a firm asks which other firms you are applying to and why, is it common practice to be as vague as possible and just say, e.g., "global firms with small trainee intakes and a focus on fintech" or to mention names? My work...

    Ngl i really don't think they care in that section, i imagine that would go in the mitigating circumstances box

    I would imagine there is a yes/no box and then you have to say which subject/exam you had to resit and whether you passed. But I don't think that is the place to include mitigating circumstances

    If applications are reviewed on a rolling basis it isn’t unreasonable to think that sending an early application for a scheme (even if months in advance) means that there will be a quicker turnaround for responses. I understand what you mean but your answer came off as pretty disrespectful and...

    Goodwin open day invite, is it online for everyone? They originally said that they would invite unsuccessful candidates to participate online, but the email says i've been successful and that they've made the "difficult decision" to move it online. Basically I want to know whether they're lying...
