It’s very annoying. I don’t understand. I feel for those in full time employment!! What a joke. Sidley is doing anything but communicating with people they’ve been to my university 4 times in the past month. I didn’t apply there.

Thank you!Hey there
The email said that it is 5:30pm on the 6th
Thankfully I submitted on time.
This is a practise test -
Damage to roads in the area has made them unsuitable for loads over one ton. These loads are being transported to the capital by air, but as air resources are limited they are restricted to carrying food and medical supplies. Roads cannot be repaired until medical emergencies are dealt with. Therefore, ...

Is this for Stephenson Harwood? I thought 600 words for each question is quite excessive. I am definitely using geopolitical conflict as one of the examples, especially with the recent presidential election.
I would say it does not follow because loads under one ton can still arrive in the capital according to the first sentence. This could exclude food and medical supplies.
im not sure, I still haven't heard back after my initial app in early sept lol. but some people have done vI and ac
yes... tempted to give up on the application because why is it basically 2000 words

Hiya @emma.d 😊
@Amma Usman and @Andrei Radu would certainly have valuable insights to share, but I’ve done a quick search and found a few resources that could help. I’ve hyperlinked them along with some points you might want to consider. I’ve skipped over common topics like ESG and AI since there’s already plenty out there on those. Here are some other areas worth reflecting on:
- Broader Economic Pressures: A recent Law Society article discusses how the volatile UK economy is affecting clients, leading to pressures on law firms to reduce fees and boost efficiency. It cites an industry survey showing that 44% of partners are facing client demands for fee reductions, and 46% report clients moving to less expensive competitors. It might be useful to think about how these economic pressures could affect firms over the next several years.
- Professional Regulatory Pressures: An excellent recent piece in The Times covers how the Solicitors Regulation Authority is ramping up scrutiny, especially around fraud, money laundering, and firms' internal risk management. This focus stems from several high-profile financial crime cases across UK firms.
- Competitive Market Pressures: The Financial Times recently highlighted how UK firms' hourly rates and salaries are shifting, influenced not only by the growing presence of US firms but also by specialist boutiques. With clients becoming more price-sensitive, firms may need to navigate this carefully. More on this can be found here.
