    Flex Legal experience?

    I used to work on a 2 week document review project with people from Flex (I got the job from a different recruiter). Around half of the intake (12 people in total) are from Flex and they say Flex is pretty decent. The rate is normally determined by the law firm on the project. For the project...

    Difference between compliance and legal jobs

    Hi Jessica, Sorry for the belated reply. To be honest I am not sure. I saw the job post on my university careers website and it just says 'internship programme'. But it has 3 stages, one written assessment and 2 interviews. So I'm guessing it is not going to be a short one.

    In-person AC/VS next cycle?

    Hi everyone, I wish to know whether AC and VS will go back to in-person in the next cycle? I saw some posts saying they had in-person VS this summer. Will law firms move AC to in-person as well? Thanks!

    Grades on CV

    Hi everyone, I have a question on mentioning my grades on the CV. I learned that I should write my education section like Company Law(2.1). All my other modules are all 2.1 or 1st so they are fine using this format. But I have one module in 2.2 and I am worried that if I write it in this format...

    This may be a stupid question but what are the differences between Direct TC and VS application process? I would imagine TC apps to be more rigid but is it less competitive compared to VS?
