    I heard back Friday 6pm-ish by e-mail. Deffo check your junk, apply4law account, etc and then contact them ASAP because slots are on the 28th and 1st March. I booked mine straight away before anyone else did so I don't know how many slots are left. Good luck for your AC!!

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but just to check: how do you know who a firm's competitors are? Is it simply common sense, i.e. looking at other firms who have a presence in the same areas / similar revenue / etc? Or is there more to it?

    This is a silly question but... when answering 'what difficulty may arise when operating in country X' and discussing political difficulties: what is the reasoning? Is it that general political difficulties may affect clients, re taxation or changes to laws, or the firm itself? My head has gone...
