Emailed AG and got this back last week! (London office) starting to think it’s a PfO they’ve done a few AC’s now!

Has anyone received any feedback from shoosmiths?

Anyone know the main differences between MoFo and Shearman? As I know they are competitors..

I am quite interested in finance regulatory work, is MoFo better for this?

@axelbeugre - do you have thoughts on this? 😊

I personally do not know but I am sure you will be able to find something online. What I knew was that MoFo was very tech and life sciences regulatory heavy but that is everything I know, whereas Shearman is very finance, leveraged finance heavy. Again, a thorough research on both might give you a better understanding of their differences.

Speaking of Shearman, has anyone received AC from them at all?

Are there anyone still waiting for Latham Summer VS post-app. It's just so cruel to make ppl wait like this even though they said they would get back by the end of Jan

How do I find a law firm's own ESG goals? do they report it?

Most law firms do and they will have articles on their websites. Additionally, I would look at law firms' LinkedIn pages as those will sometimes repost these kind of reports. Alternatively, following lawyers and partners in corporate/capital markets or even ESG departments from the law firms you are interested in.

I haven't applied there but I'm just curious, which firm is MoFo? It's an interesting abbreviation.... 😅

Have you had any rejections?! You’ve done so well. It’s amazing! I’m gonna need your tips for next season cause you’re getting accepted by every firm I’ve applied to😭

W&C 15s prep time for the VI was absolutely brutal 😂

almost as brutal as waiting over a month for a response post-VI 🤣

Latham are gonna have me on a month’s wait post AC tomorrow…
But it’s not a competition anyway we’re all stressed🤣

I applied on the 12th of Jan, got the email about them looking forward to reading my cover letter on the 26th, and silence since. Assuming a PFO at this point for the sake of my own happiness.

my bro I applied 28th December and they just invited me last Friday I really wouldn't stress

Hey - I've got a paralegal job in private client in a fairly high street firm in south London starting in the next 2 weeks. But I've also got a paralegal job in commercial litigation at a top city law firm that i could start soon BUT its only for a 1 month contract. Which one should I take???

 

[yxngd2x]

Any top commercial news stories to keep an eye on?

just pick something that's easy to apply without much explaining needed -- my go to is interest rates

[walterwhite]

Anyone have any insight regarding the questions in the W&C VI???
