Hello all,

An update from the Freshfields team:

"Hi Zeyad,

We’re still in the process of screening applications. Watson Glaser invitations will be issued over the coming days, with the last of these to be sent later this month.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Kind regards,
Anav"

They are such a great recruitment team and always respond to any queries I have :)
