Has anyone heard back from Watson Farley & Williams, Stephenson Harwood, HFW, Penningtons Manches Cooper, Preston Turnbull following interviews/applications this cycle?

I’m particularly interested in shipping/maritime-focused firms and would be helpful to understand whether timelines are moving as expected this year.

Also curious whether anyone has found firms placing greater emphasis on finance knowledge or sanctions awareness this year?

Thank you.
