Anyone heard from Weil post VI?

Does anyone know if the CMS WG is automatic or if some people get PFO after application stage?

Not automatic. People do get pfo after applications

Has anyone heard back from:
- Foot Anstey
- Osborne Clarke
-DWF
Thanks

Waiting on OC as well, but they apparently don't start filling up AC spaces until after the deadline.

Just finished CMS AC to open an email saying I got Akin AC!

Feeling a mix of excited and burnt out, was so ready for the rest! Any tips?

I presume it should be tomorrow since they stated they will get back in two weeks of deadline (5 Jan)

Just received a VI for W&C Summer Vac! For context, I applied for their WVS in September and I'm only hearing back now. If anyone is in a similar position to me, don't lose hope🫶

Hi @Jessica Booker, is it okay to just refer to Freshfields as Freshfields in the first instance in my personal statement or should I spell out the full name of the firm first and then abbreviate to Freshfields?

Freshfields have now changed their name to just Freshfields rather than Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and so it is fine to use this.

It’s not automatic, I got PFO from CMS without one.

Congrats, I just got one for DTC. Can I ask how you interpret the deadline for the VI? Is it 72 hours from the time they sent the email? Am I being dense?

 

[AlegalA]

Hi guys! Does anyone have a good template for memos?
Both internal and for clients. Those I've found online aren't free 😭

I'm going to play it safe and assume that the timer starts from the time they sent the email.

Hey guys, does anyone have any tips or insights into the AG AC (London)? Any advice would be much appreciated

 

[pleasepleaseplease]

Thank you! Please could you also advise on this?

Also is it worth applying to Freshfields if I have a mid 2:1? (I have two modules with high 2:2s from first and second year, and I am currently in my final year)
