Hey does anyone know where I can find out what seats are available in the Bristol training contract for WBD. I don't want to talk about a practice area they don't do there in my application! Thanks 🥰

    Kirkland & Ellis deadline is 1st January 2023. I assume that this means midnight tomorrow? I would appreciate someone clearing up this confusion. I don't want to miss the deadline if it is tonight.

    Thanks team
    Midnight tomorrow would be 2nd January. If the deadline is 1st January then you have today until 23:59. Unless they state, 1st January at 10am UK time, for example. But if it's just "1st January" then assume time is up the second it hits 1st.

    What's the best format to send the Freshfields personal statement? It just says drop file here.

    Also, does anyone have any insight into the best format for the file name to be written in, and also whether I should write my word count at the bottom? TIA
    You don't need to add "dear grad. rec...". Just go right in. Then it's why law, why you, why freshfields. Don't think it matters in which order.

    I was invited to attend one of their insight days and in my application, I sent the file as PDF and did not add word count.

    Thank you! Can I ask what you named your file? I was thinking to write myname_freshfieldscoverletter or something, but if they told you to name it something specific I'd love to hear :)

    I don't remember them saying applicants need to name the file in any specific way. I just saved it with my name for the workshop application.

    Yep I didn't initially read it like this but now I do. I appreciate the input
