I believe we will hear from Gowling at the beginning of January.

Is Mishcon rolling for summer vac scheme? Im not sure if there's still any point in applying as I see that lots of people have already made it to VI

Those who applied to DLA (esp regional offices) and received their benchmark email - does the email say that meeting benchmark doesn't necessarily mean we have secured a seat at the ACs.
Also, are their ACs in person only?

Can someone please reply to this 😭

I just did the Dechert Written Exercise. Does anyone have any advice on these? It was pretty time-pressured and I'm unsure how to improve content and presentation.

Was it like a standard case study / email to a client kind of thing ? I have mine next week so what format it was would help. Thx

Yeah the email said you’re not guaranteed an AC place despite meeting the VI benchmark (I applied for London)

But all ACs are in person, they pay for transport (it said including flights up to a certain price) so I don’t think they’d give an online option

If anyone has done a VI for Eversheds Sutherland, please message me!! Thank you

 

[TakeAChanceOnMe]

Have Bird and Bird and Taylor Wessing reached out to anyone to complete the test?

Yes B&B sent me the WG test. No word from TW yet.

 

[pb15]

Is the weil deadline at 11:59pm tomorrow?

 

[Hani156]

Completed DLA VI last Tuesday and received an email today informing me I've achieved the benchmark - was wondering whether anyone received this email and then didn't get an AC spot?
