    An absolute nightmare! I’ve just emailed them as I also pressed ‘update’ on the application, wondering if it would take me to a page allowing me to see the whole thing. Now worried it’s changed the date of my submission…

    Just logged in to check my TW application after all the website bugs and errors. I can see most of my application and that my cover letter is uploaded but I can’t see the answers to the job-specific answer questions. Anyone having the same problem?

    Is anyone still waiting to hear back from BCLP after a long wait? I did their online test on 20th September and I’ve not heard anything since!

    Thanks, but the additional information section is just a textbox it seems, and I can’t upload anything to it.

    I’ve applied to Eversheds Sutherland and noticed the form asked you to submit evidence of your degree module grades alongside your application. However, there was nowhere to upload a transcript. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and is it worth an email to their Early Talent Team? Thanks!

    Just filled in the Taylor Wessing form and now I can’t access it because of the error. 🫠 Has the form come back for anyone or have you had to start again/set up a new account?

    I see Eversheds Sutherland have the same application questions as last year (and I think going back a few years before too). Is there any advice anywhere on how to approach these and what they are looking for? Given they’ve been the same for a few years I haven’t found much, and the firm...

    I got Pride, Growth Mindset and Efficiency as my strengths and ‘preference to be relaxed and informal’ as my weakness. Haven’t heard back from the firm but I applied in September so assuming PFO.

    Hi all- I’m wondering if anyone has some advice on applying to Taylor Wessing?
