    Latham - Spring
    Baker McKenzie - Summer

    Have had to reject one of my offers due to a clash and am feeling a bit gutted about it but hopefully I've made the right choice.

    Have they moved you to a direct TC application?

    Yeah I've asked them to do this but they haven't gotten back to me on it. I'm not hoping for much just because even when I asked to move schemes i.e. from spring to summer they said they couldn't do it.
