Nope unfortunately not heard back. Though not feeling positive because the time pressure got to me on the second question

I'm feeling the same if that makes you feel a bit more relaxed. Hopefully other's do too?

Did everyone get that email from Slaughter & May apologising for not getting back to them already? Assuming it was a generic email

What are your initial thoughts on this question?

had initially had written down bullet points such as big four competitors, AI, climate crisis, legal aid cuts and firms taking on more pro Bono and developments in the healthcare industry with increase roll out of vaccines. But didn’t know how much of this is relevant or if they are too generic as points!

Would the cost of living crisis also be a point to talk about?
