Icel that’s actually disgusting. Did they accept that you had emailed for adjustments and that they had failed to respond? Surely they should have been able to give at least a one day extension with the adjustments in place?
I’m sorry you had to go through all of that. It’s a joke in my opinion.
Tbh though, this doesn’t really surprise me. Have you seen the latest Legal Cheek article. 😂
Two siblings got given a New York secondment through nepotism. *allegedly* 👀
A senior partner at Freshfields was a close family friend of theirs (the nepotism in question). *allegedly* 👀
Freshfields swapped several trainees’ secondments in order to give the New York secondments to the siblings in question (conveniently). *allegedly* 👀

nah it’s okay hahah, i sent a strongly worded email back -
i wasn’t hopeful anyway as i was rejected last year post-AC (which went so so badly)
i am still waiting back on AG post VI. I did my VI on 20th December. I know they have sent out rejections to people post VI too. I emailed them last week asking when i can expect to hear back and they didn't give me a time frame, they just said they were still going through applications..
Just received Mishcon PFO following December VI
its giving ‘guys i figured out a way to avoid having to employ disabled people omg!’
Taylor Wessing AC!! It's my first ever AC in this cycle so I'm super anxious..Does anyone have any insights/tips?
These same firms will bombard you with emails about their disability and neurodiversity affinity networks and commitment to diversity…
I feel like it’s all just very performative ngl. Some firms are genuine and supportive about adjustments though like Willkie and Macfarlanes.

i applied a day before the deadline, got the VI invite at like 1pm yesterday
(and to compare to the ff experience i just posted, i was responded to within 30 minutes of emailing them back to ask about extra time, then was sent a new link with extra time this morning at 10am, as well as a new 72 hour deadline)
Not an expert by any means so don’t take this as advice, I’m just wondering whether it’s even worth including any experience prior 2020 at this point? Especially for week-long placements, like it’s been over five years…
I think it’s useful to include all work experience tbh but where they are similar just amalgamate them into one entry.
While one VS was 2020, the other one was recently in 2024. It wouldn’t make sense to not include the older work placements. They’re equally valuable imo. 🤷🏾♂️

tbh was quite time rushed but not too bad hbu?
That is actually pathetic from FF. so sorry you had to go through that. At least it’s become more clear to you now that it’s not a firm you would want to apply for in the future.
pinsent mason manchester AC, any insight would be appreciated ))
