Has anyone heard back from Lewis Silkin for the London TC?

I'm guessing it may be a while longer, as the website says the pre-selection exercises won't start until early April?

apparently there are two tests that come after the written application - do they come straight away or are those tests the 2nd stage?

Got an interview and written exercise offer from Greenberg Traurig! Has anyone done a GT interview and written exercise? If so, can I send you a pm?

@Jessica Booker I accidentally submitted an app to a firm without fully completing the application form. None of the application questions were answered. I emailed them explaining the situation and asked if they would reopen the application so that I could properly finish it. Would they allow me to properly resubmit or do firms usually not allow this?

Not Jessica, but maybe it would be easier to ask if you can withdraw the app and then resubmit it if the deadline hasnt passed?

The deadline is on the 15th so it hasn’t passed yet. I’ve already sent the email asking them to reopen the application. Should I follow up asking if it’s okay to withdraw?
