Struggling to understanding what makes Bird & Bird different? I know they specialise in IP and technology but does this have anything to do with their sector-focused approach?

Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, which insight evening was this for? I applied for the women's one, but I know the date has been changed for that so wasn't sure when I should expect to hear back.Weil, Gotshal & Manges Insight Evening invite!! finally something positive in this cycle
Imo, always say the name of the other firm. It grounds the experience and gives it credibility. Bonus points if it's a similar firm (but no minuses if it isn't- it's still law).
Thank you! this was for the AccessAbility one, which is next week!

Generally being specific as to which firm it is will be far more persuasive and impactful than a vague reference.
I’m 99% sure the deadline will be 7 days after you receive the test.
If you apply on the deadline, for example, HSF won’t send the test out until Monday 2nd Dec (so it’s impossible to complete it before the written app 1st Dec deadline).
Hi - I had a question in regards to talking about deals on applications. If the firm is international, is it okay to mention cases from another country, especially if the firm has a one global firm approach? Or is it better to focus on a deal that involves the office you are applying to? Thank you so much.

I was planning to apply to them. I wonder how true is that considering many apply close to the deadlineIs anyone going to apply to Bird & Bird? i went to an event with them and they said that if we submit now we might not even get screened, don't really want to waste my time...

It can be an international deal, but it is important that lawyers from the office you are applying to worked on it.
I haven’t done it, but the provider is amberjack. Amberjack does the same blended thing for Simmons i did it last year. Mixture of SJT, verbal reasoning and numerical reasoning and they added VI this year. Case study like you read emails or articles can’t remember much. I would practise numerical reasoning just in case PM has it, where you read graphs/charts and calculate answers with a calculator: that kind. hope this helped.
is it too late to apply to HSF's spring vac scheme scheme? should I apply for summer?
Did anyone get an email from w&c saying their application is still under consideration?
I sent the application on the 22nd and should be receiving the tests today.
