Hi Neville!

Just seen this thread so thank you it's really useful! I have a vacation scheme with Herbert Smith Freehills coming up and noticed that you've done a vacation scheme there before (I also did philosophy at uni funnily enough!). I'm really nervous for it especially since it's a virtual one and I've never done a vac scheme before, I was wondering if you could let me know a bit about what you did on yours and any advice or resources you would suggest? Any advice on what kind of work you were expected to do and what the TC interview at the end was like (e.g. what kind of things they focused on) would be great! No worries if you don't feel comfortable sharing, thanks for the help!
