Gowling WLG AC 2022 Feedback

When Gowling said “please give up to 3 preferences for the legal team” for the vacation scheme - does anyone know what the options are?

I just went on the website and made educational guesses at which legal teams they have based on conversations I’ve had with associates etc. i could be wrong but I’m sure they’ll tell us if what we named wasn’t a legal team

Yes I received the email afew hours ago! So happy!

And congratulations to you!

Congratulations to you also!

1. Commercial, Employment , Pensions and Projects
2. Real Estate Group
3. Corporate, Finance and Tax
4. Dispute Resolution Group

Does anyone know when we’re likely to get further info/find out what team we’re in?

 

[5678]

No they don’t I emailed and asked

Thanks, they pay for travel!

Are you sure? I emailed to ask about expenses and I received the following:


“We don't offer any financial support for accommodation/travel/food, however we are providing breakfast and lunch on the first day and we will be going out for an evening meal likely on the Wednesday evening where all costs will be covered. If you require transport to get home later in the evening after we have been out we are more than happy to compensate for this.

We do also have an on-site restaurant with subsidised food and fridges in the kitchens if you wish you bring your own lunch.“
