Hi, I am currently preparing my applicaiton ot Bevan Brittan and I am unsure how to approach this question : "The legal industry is constantly evolving, shaped by changes in technology, regulation, client needs and global events. Can you tell us about a recent development that you think will have an impact on the future of legal practice? How might this effect the way law firms work or the services they offer to clients? "
Is this a trend affecting the firm as a whole or could it affect a practice specifically.
@Abbie Whitlock do you have any advice ?

Live for these ones definitely reposted one or two
Guys btw, do firms genuinely review VIs themselves or are they processed via AI? I have received conflicting opinions
Hi guys I have three years of paralegal experience and I have been trying to get a training contract since my final year of university. I work a remote paralegal role where the office is based in London (I am midlands based) and so it is difficult for me to find a better paying paralegal role in the midlands but I am so drained. I am sick of working remotely, sick of a lack of salary progression and sick of applying to VSs in a hope of a TC at this point. I think this is the lowest I’ve felt about it and I just wanted to vent and have some reassurance if any 
me panicked trying to remember walking directions to the office so I don't get my phone snatched and ending up in the opposite direction. london is confusing
guys i'm a born and bred londoner and the number of exits at bank station literally gives me palpitations
this is actually exactly what I'm talking about
one of my first times in London alone was for an open day and I was so paranoid about my phone. I had google maps reading out directions from my airpods, and was just following them. "Exit station onto whatever street" I exited the station, didn't see street signs presumed I was on the right street, didn't know there were multiple exits lol. "Walk for 300 yards and turn left onto another street" did exactly that, it wasn't until it told me to turn around that I realised I was going the complete wrong way.
If bank station has 1,000 haters, I’m one of them. If bank station has 1 hater it’s me. If bank station has 0 haters, I’m no longer around… If bank station no longer exists, I’ll be happy…
That station has to be the most confusing place to exist. It’s literally like a maze with exits going in every direction except the one I needed. Idk how people handle commuting every day lmao.
One of my first ever open days was at BCLP and I got off the tube at Bank (after getting the train from Manchester to Euston station). It took me a good 25 mins to figure out where the exit was…

Also not heard back. However, post VI I also heard back about partner screening a day after a lot of people on here. I don't know whether you'd consider that batches, but I saw loads of people getting the email on here and presumed PFO, only to get my email the next morning lol, hoping it's the same case here!
Either way, I'm ready for it all to be done. Two outcomes left with 2birds and Bristows. Haven't received Bristows WE yet, still hopeful I guess. Kinda expecting 2birds pfo as I know my written exercise/case study was dreadful, and while my interview was really comfortable and friendly I definitely answered a few things poorly.
But at least then I can stop refreshing my inbox every day

That’s interesting that you heard back post VI a day later. I was sure that up until then, it was all in one go because it’s entirely up to HR.
To be fair, no one’s posted a PFO yet, so no news is surely good news.
Think this is going to be the most anxious, wired trainee intake Bristows ever had…
Same here! I’ve emailed them today and they said we will hear a response maximum 10 weeks post application deadline
Absolutely doable (I did last year), but as ever, there’s an element of luck involved. Good luck!
hey, does anyone know how many applicants are invited for TW's ACs (spring & summer combined)? read previously it was around 100 for 30 spots but that was 2 years ago!
