Didn't they close their app on the 6th?

Has BCLP Summer Vac Scheme (London) deadline closed? I thought the deadline was 23:59 tonight but the scheme does not appear to be listed on the website anymore?

Reed Smith's VI was tough lol

just checked and couldn't see it either. can anyone confirm?

It's on the same platform as Goodwin's, and I think someone said that theirs disappeared early too?

anyone applying to trowers & hamlins?

 

[patternteddybear]

Hi guys, can anyone suggest how to approach this question -:

What makes you particularly suited to a career at Trowers & Hamlins compared to other applicants?

Ps: the deadline is today so any quick recommendations would be appreciated.

i just discussed different attributes i have displayed and scenarios where i have demonstrated them. and then why that would distinguish me

Has anyone had prior experience in realising that you submitted an incorrect grade > I wrote M1 instead of M2 (Pre-U). I still meet the eligibility requirements but of course it ruins the legitimacy of my app which is under consideration?

I'm accepting that it is likely to completely rule out my app from any consideration but would be great to hear of anyone that has gone through the process of trying to amend their app through grad recruitment with success.

Thanks team

I was wondering how to answer “Who will be involved in an acquisition of a hotel?”
For this question, do you have to talk about practice areas?

Yes, I would focus on any practice areas or sector groups that might be involved in such a transaction. Also if an international transaction, then also think about the lawyers that might need to be involved across jurisdictions too.

Hi Guys! I am currently working in the UK with my tier 2 visa, and applying to vacation schemes for spring and summer. I am wondering if I can do my vacation scheme with my tier 2 visa (I can take a break from my current job for the VS period), or firms should sponsor me again. I am confused regarding this.
@Jessica Booker Can you help me please?
Thanks.

If you get to the next stage of the process, then update the firm to explain the mistake. This gives the firm the opportunity to consider the information before you complete the next stage.

You should try to explain how the mistake was made too.

I haven't heard yet (applied about a month ago), but I saw someone say that they heard back a few days ago and applied in September!

Has Latham sent out 3 VI batches for now? And for the people who have received it, was it spring or summer VS?

Hey I think it's just been 2 batches; I got the invite at the same time others' posted about theirs, but I only mentioned it now!! Mine was for spring. I bet there's more invites coming though, good luck to us all!!😂
