Did the VI for RS on 12th July and got invite to AC!

What was your VI score and also, what are the AC dates?

Hi, has anyone done the White & Case (W&C) VI and is willing to trade insights? Can help out with other firms like Reed Smith and other US firms!

Also as a wider question, are VI Questions typically the same for firms' Vac Scheme and Direct TC applications?

Assessment day! But, I live in a different country and they invited me in person. I can only hope they can accommodate and i can attend online...

When did you hear back from RS? They seem to send out invites at the end of the work day.

Burges Salmon just came back saying I’m on the reserve list for AC!!! Not too sure how I should feel about it 😂 mixed feelings now

Has anyone submitted their RS VI on 12th July and not heard back? I haven't received any email but I understand some have already received AC invites / update from RS that they'll get back.

Hi, when did you submit your application and when did you get the VI invite? And congrats!

How do we find out which competitors a firm has?

 

[BM99]

Anyone heard from Macs?

 

[pb15]

How do we find out which competitors a firm has?

You can categorise them as competitors by a few different ways - size of firm, specialisms (because a boutique place is a little powerhouse could be a competitor in a certain practice area), client size/profit rates within the sectors the firm services. A good way is to go to the firm’s page on legal 500 and click on a specialism they have then see who else is ranked similarly to them and then check if they do similar work within that practice area. Hope this helps ☺️
