Does anyone know how important art law is to Stephenson Harwood? Given my art history background it really appeals to me but I don't want to mention if its too niche!!

Submitted my Mayer Brown application on Sunday, received the tests today (not sure if people were waiting post submission). I'm certain their tests are automatic but the email phrasing makes it sound like it isn't lol!

In that case, as long as you haven't received a rejection yet you're still very much in the running!!

I haven't received anything but it seems most people who have heard back did their VI's in December so maybe they're going chronologically :)

What is a firm looking for when they ask "Tell us about a time you have exceeded expectations in your work and/or study", is it similar to when have you gone above and beyond in your work and study?

I feel this, I left uni and decided I wanted to go into the art world (curating/museum stuff) but only last year did I decide to go into law!

You're so right! Retirement ages keep going up ;) Hopefully being older means I know myself a bit better than 21 year old me would have done!

I did it last year and I think it was just two questions, how will your skills and experiences make you a good solicitor and why would SPB be a good place to achieve this! No idea if its changed but I hope it helps :D Well done!

oh god its the worst! I'm waiting on Mishcon post VI and rejection from SPB (VI last year)! In some ways, its clear how random it can be because I've 100% improved from last year but clearly I was more successful lol. Fingers crossed you hear back soon and its positive!!
