    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I thought I would just add more flames to the CC priority debate: firstly, a disclaimer that I understand I may be biased because I am in one of their priority groups and so I don't know if I would have received an AC invite if I had applied last year or next year. But in my brief experience...

    DLA Piper Application

    I emailed grad recruitment and they said that they don't send a confirmation. The screen reads a little message confirming it has been completed and that is the only confirmation we get.

    Clifford Chance TC commencing 2023

    I am a bit confused as the LinkedIn/CV policy on InsideSherpa (now Forage) clearly states that you can not put the global virtual internship on CVs as work experience and it must be put in the extracurricular and academic achievements section, and so I would assume that the same rule would apply...
