Hi @ReedSmithBecca - thanks for your responses to these questions, really helpful!

I understand that the firm had a TC applications masterclass yesterday, just wanted to know if there's more sessions planned in the coming weeks? Feels like it would be super useful but I missed the notification for this one!

    If a candidate has previously progressed through the interview stages at Reed Smith and passed the application stage, is it acceptable for their motivation in answering commercial law questions to remain largely unchanged considering their motivation to pursue commercial law hasn’t significantly evolved over the past year?
