They rejected me post-app in previous cycle for direct app as all the TC spaces had been filled through the VS.
Hey everyone! Eversheds Sutherland's DTC deadline is at 11:59 PM tonight. Do they recruit on a rolling basis?
Does anyone know if the commercial exercise at Fried Frank is a group exercise?
I read that on Chamber Student, but on the email from them it just says 'commercial exercise with two associates'. Thanks!

Happy Sunday everyone! Is applying to WFW still worth it considering that the deadline is in 2 days and they're rolling? I saw that some people got VI earlier in June already. (I could submit a high quality app, did multiple firm events with them and know the firm quite well, just kept postponing my app due to other firms...:/)

Hiya @SolicitorHopeful
I've just put together a list of recent publications/reports on law firms and their business models. This should give you some sense of the pressures/trends that are affecting law firms and their strategy.
1. Thomson Reuter's recent report on the state of the legal market (2024)
2. Thomson Reuters on law firm profitability
3. Thomson Reuters on cash flow problems in businesses, including law firms
4. A PwC report on law firms' adaptation to changes in GenAI and ESG
5. Forbes on the essential pillars for a successful law firm
6. Financial Times report on trends that are disrupting firms and their business model
7. The Law Society on Alternative Business Structures
8. The Law Society on trends affecting law firms in 2025

It still doesn't work for me
Will email the grad team... I hope the issue can be resolvedAnyone had anything from MacFarlanes, RPC, Arnold Porter , White & Case and Reed Smith post VI and asestment?
Nothing from Macfarlanes, Reed Smith, W&C. Only RS's deadline has passed though. Many have heard from RS though. But they only closed on 20/6.

Does RS tend to review all apps before sending out VIs or they have limited spots for VI?
