    Do Latham aim to recruit most trainees from their VS? Some have said as far as US firms go, they recruit more than others from direct TC apps too but not sure how true that is...? Thanks
    Pretty true for US firms. Because intakes are small there’s more emphasis placed on recruiting from people who know the firm better through the VS. At most I think only one or two places are given to direct TC applicants and this is only if the firm has people from the VS who turn their offers down

    Nope! Not necessary although I’d imagine you can if you want to
    Thank you Dheepa!

    Did anyone hear back from Pinsent Masons yet?

    On a separate note, I applied to Ashurst and still haven't gotten the test. Is it worth an email to grad rec or would I turn them the wrong way by emailing them?
    I am in the same situation as you. When did you submit the application? Has 7 days passed from your submission date since they mention it that we will get the test link within 7 days.

    Hi guys, I need help with an urgent query. Its my last day to complete the Ashurst online tests, but I can't find them anywhere! When I follow the links in the email, it takes me back to my CVmail page but the tests aren't there.

    Does anybody know where to find Ashursts tests on the CVmail page?

    Normally the links are sent to you in your email and they should direct you to the website. I would email grad rec about this and say that the links don’t work. Don’t say that you left it last minute though 😂

    I am having the same issue - have you emailed graduate recruitment yet, and did you receive a reply?
