Voting for Bird & bird!

As a space engineer, I'd like to hear from any firms in the West Midlands who focus on Space and AI.

Thanks Jaysen, love this forum!

I passed the app stage of 2birds last year (flopped the video interview); my best friend was also their brand ambassador last year, feel free to pm if you have any questions!

I've reached out to Bird & Bird to teach a class (I asked about IP but the plan is for them to also teach students about the kind of firm they are). No guarantees but will keep you updated.

What's really crazy is that I'm one of their brand ambassadors this year at Exeter! If any one has any questions for me as well please don't hesitate to pm me as well!

I went to the bright network festival today and spoke to Diana (JD recruitment manager) she said if anyone is considering to apply for the winter vacation scheme, the latest date she would advise to send in the application is the end of September/first week of October (the winter scheme is extremely popular).

She also mentioned that the spring vacation scheme is less competitive (presumably because exam season is commencing for uni students) but just FYI for those considering to apply to JD.

That's kind of you to share Selma, thank you! I will add these comments to the application list thread.

I haven't written a Jones Day insight yet, but one interesting thing to note:

The firm has topped the Bloomberg M&A and Thomson Reuters league tables for the number of worldwide deals every quarter since the end of 2000.

Hey guys,

Just a heads up, we are taking requests for our next law firm insight over the weekend in our TCLA Premium forum. A new insight will be available each week over there.

I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, just in case you are wondering what happened to this thread!

Thanks,

Nicole
