Did someone here say they already have a VI invite from shoosmiths? I did not even know they were already giving out invites
Hey, I was just on their Instagram live featuring their grad rec, Sam. I asked her about this and she said they're currently screening applications and that we shouldn't be worried if we haven't heard anything yet. They're still getting back to people :)
Best of luck!

Ah, never mind. If it's a relevant question still, I could ask them to see if they could offer any insight?
Thank you for your offer..but I am seriously considering to change my topic for the commercial awareness question. Someone advised me that I might be examined in depth about the topic and I am now scared.

Wiggin has postponed their AC to next summer as they rather want to meet people in person (in case anyone applied there). It will still be for the 2022 intake. Not sure how that will work with the GDL and LPC/SQE considering they do sponsor their trainees for those...

being “examined in depth” isn’t going to be about you knowing everything about the topic. It will be about showing interest in the matter, being able to analyse and make judgements on your feet. Being able to recite factual information is of no interest to anyone. So make sure what you choose is within your comfort zone - you don’t have to be a subject matter expert

Hi! I also applied to Wiggin and got that email! I think if they interview in June future trainees could still be able to start their LPC in September! Otherwise they could always ask you to start in February for the fast track one! I'm sure it will be fine :) Good luck with all your applications!

So they won’t be doing an AC until summer 2021?
