I am so in shock but I have just received a TC offer from DAC Beachcroft!

This forum is honestly amazing and has given me so much encouragement on days where I have doubted whether commercial law even is for me or not, so I just wanted to say thank you everyone for being supportive, it really means a lot!

Huge congrats Ayo! Delighted for you

Does anyone know which winter vacation schemes will be held virtually this year, and which will be in person?

I'm not sure anyone can really guarantee any winter vac could be in person just yet, many firms have speculated they'll probably be online but we'll have to see how/when firms fully return to the office!

I would be surprised if any winter vacation schemes are held in-person.

I might send a survey out to firms to see if they can confirm this.

Edit - I can see this is popular idea! Hoping to send this out to firms soon. Will be interesting to see what kind of response we get (if any).

Those applying to AO, how did you list all the university modules when the total number of them exceeds 25 (Gosh I hate AOs' application portal)

Out of curiosity, how can we find out which firms lawyers lateral hire in and out of? It would be interesting to know if there was any way of seeing trends/stats outside of the normal google search
