I haven't heard back a week post-VI (even though have seen some people being offered placement). Should I assume its a no? Just don't want to get my hopes up.

Question regarding how law firms operate as businesses:
-Are they any benefits in terms of leverage (associate-to-partner hours) of having a smaller team of lawyers working on particular transaction or case?
- More generally, what are the benefits of having smaller (3-5 person) teams besides greater responsibility for trainees?
