Thank you! Idk, I was surprised though. Maybe it's like Willkie, though they said it's mostly non-rolling, they will review the majority of applications after the deadline, but if you applied early and you're stand out they will back to you.
Sounds silly, PFO from Legal Cheek Webinar for STEM students. I had undergrad in Business STEM designated program (BS/BSc), but perhaps they thought my degree title is BBA/BCom/BA🤷🏻♀️
Hi @Abbie - Reed Smith, it's great to see you back and answering the same question I referred to in the VS thread. It's genuinely interesting to have a supportive team, hope you all pass with high marks on SQE.
I have another question for trainees or the GR team might respond.
I've researched...

Wow that's very reassuring. I had not applied yet for the VS, but I'll do it after the open day! I want to get to know them better before submitting my app. Thank you for confirming this, so I can prepare too.
Hi @Abbie - Reed Smith
Given that my questions were ghosted by HL and W&C confirmed last week that they won't sponsoring visa for VS, I am considering Reed Smith.
I saw someone asked about your life at Reed Smith whilst work as SQE intern on the another thread, but you didn't reply.
How you...
I think someone highlight the reason why most firms right now focus on grades and require additional tests as a result of the low passing rate of SQEs are obvious
Also, what I've seen some firms have shifted the recruitment openings due to market changes as well, for example
Getting stronger...
Hey all, I came across this thread: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/firms-that-sponsor-visas-for-international-trainees.6617/post-164157
Is it true that Hogan Lovells & White & Case sponsor VISA last year or cycle?
I also figured it out in another thread that they...
