Guys, has anyone heard back from CRS cheltenham?

Do we know if Arnold & Porter recruits via the direct TC route (given that they have 4 spots only)?

I have vac scheme at bird and bird but I currently live in Leeds and my family live in Durham, so I was wondering if anyone knows if firms, or even specifically bird and bird, historically provide accommodation or funds for accommodation for those who can't commute in?

I would directly reach out to the firm about this. I know some firms provide some support for accomodation

Hi! I wonder if anyone was in the same situation as me. I cannot enter my school in Baker McKenzie application as I finished it outside the UK. Any advice what should I do?
Also, I tried emailing them but got no reply so far, maybe I used the wrong email? There was this one on their website: [email protected]

I selected a random one, and on the next page there is a space where you can enter your school name manually. So that's what I did.

I had emailed them but didn't receive a reply either.
