When a application question is along the lines of: "based on your research of X firm, what do you understand to be the biggest opportunity for one of the sectors in which we specialise", do you need to talk about the firm a lot, or is it sufficient to pick one of their strong sectors as it's...- futuretraineeihope

Does anyone know roughly when the Spring VS and Summer VS ACs usually take place? I’ll be away for part of Feb/March and I’m trying to figure out whether I’d be more likely to miss the Spring or Summer ACs during that time. I’ll apply to whichever option gives me the best chance of avoiding...- futuretraineeihope

Thank you! I actually just realised they also ask in the form your motivations for being a solicitor and for applying to the firm. So do you think it would still be necessary to do a cover letter... feels a bit like they've asked everything already.- futuretraineeihope

I've never had to write a cover letter as part of an application before, what would you include if it's alongside the questions: (1) write about your sport and leisure activities, (2) your greatest achievement and (3) your personal or career goals. Would it just ve focused around motivations for...- futuretraineeihope
