They had a strong focus on their diversity and their tech initiatives. Other than that, pretty generic.
According to their website they offer 8 training contracts off of their winter scheme, so 15 spots is a bit harsh.

“There are approximately 12 Summer and 8 Winter places available each year.”
I think your link refers to the Reed Smith Hong Kong vacation programme rather than the UK VS where they don't seem to specify how many they will retain from their VS, here:

Hope you hear some good news !!
I emailed Travers earlier this week and they're hoping to give us an update by the end of this week or next week!
Wait, i am so baffled when did you apply????, I am a whole BA at the firm and i didn't get no email looool.
Invited to BCLP assessment centre for next week! This will be my first ever AC for a vac scheme - am really nervous haha
Well done!! Amazing achievement but like I said in a previous post, don’t let those nerves get to you and there really isn’t an advantage for being a candidate with lots of AC experience asides from knowing how they work as every from is so different! You’ll smash It
Received an AC for Linklaters Summer Vac, does anyone have any advice or useful resources for the case study part?
Hey! I did it last year. It is a SHL verbal reasoning test. It was my first ever test and I did so badly and was in the 5th percentile lol. I actually find WG tests way easier than pure verbal reasoning tests.
I just got the invite too, so need to get practising! There are decent practise tests online from what I remember.
Hi all,

Hi, I was thinking the same thing, as I was initially going to do a direct TC app. But I believe they may primarily recruit from the VS cohort...
