Weekly Commercial Awareness Thread

Which law firms recruit on a rolling basis? 2018-2019
Here's a draft list of the law firms that do and don't recruit on a rolling basis. I say draft because some of them I will need to confirm with the law firm.

Freshfields application
It's broad and there's no set application questions because they want to see you can cover the points above with a clear structure. So take your structure and your writing very seriously.

If you lead by picking all the skills you think a law firm wants, your answer will be very standard. You can then flesh out the skill (by explaining what...- Jaysen
