Does anyone know if Akin Gump recruit on a rolling basis for their training contracts? Also roughly when they will start reviewing applications? I'm a penultimate year but I didn't apply for their vac scheme, so I'm sending in a TC application (assuming they don't recruit predominantly from VS's). Also if anyone has any general advice for applying, then this is sincerely appreciated!

    I hate to say but I think Akin Gump pretty much solely recruit from their VS - vaguely remember them saying something similar to me at my interview
