Super sad that Gemma Baker has left Willkie. I feel like it’s been a quiet exit but she’s one of the best recruiters! I wonder who’s taken over at Willkie? Anyone know?- James Wakefield

Anyone know how long you have to wait before you know you’re temporarily in the clear post-BCLP and Taylor Wessing tests? I know they both send PFOs quite quick if you don’t hit the benchmark.- James Wakefield

Do Taylor Wessing actually read every application, does anyone know? I know they say they do, but I know from last year you can get a pretty fast PFO after doing their online tests…- James Wakefield

Went to their open day and they said they only read after second test, and use that in conjunction with written application to decide AC slots. Second test is automatic if you reach benchmark on the first.- James Wakefield

Ask Osborne Clarke Anything!
Hi Patrick, Thanks for your time! I’m looking to reapply to Osborne Clarke after being unsuccessful at the first stage last year. I think the verbal reasoning test let me down. Do you have any advice on how best to prepare for this test? Thank you!- James Wakefield
