Hii @RikPalmer-ReedSmith and @ReedSmithBecca. In the last cycle, I had submitted an application and got to the video interview stage. Could I still use my 'why the firm' answer since that hasn't really changed and it was well written and structured the last time?- Jessica Pearson

@Veronica @Ammanbaby1 I am interested in a particular firm's emerging market group. How do I link it to me?

Training Contract Advice
Heyy @Elizabeth123 you’re welcome 💛. I don’t really have advice on coming to the UK from Nigeria but maybe look at firms that have offices and good standing in Nigeria/West Africa. For example, HSF Kramer has a top tier emerging markets team, and DLA Piper has an office in Nigeria (Lagos). Also...- Jessica Pearson
