Could anyone tell me what the questions are to this years Pinsent Masons Application - it won’t allow me to move to the application question section until I have completed the work experience section. Thanks 😊

Really? There are no questions on the entire application? Oki thank you ☺️
Has anyone heard from ashurst yet?
if you never finished the vi for simmons and simmons after applying wvs, is your app withdrawn and are you able to apply for the summer one?
I did my VI on 7th October and haven't heard back, have you heard back since posting?
The Travers deadline is 22nd October. Does that mean I can submit my app 23:59 on the 22nd?
From my experience, JD values candidates who really understand how their firm is different from their competitors. My interviewer really pushed that question during my interview last year. From what I understand, the AC structure has changed this year. However, I think that this quality is something that they still very much value as it shows them that you understand what the job entails and it also shows that you are keen about the firm!Hi - just wondering what type of candidate JD go for?
I don’t think all firms have distinct corporate and commercial contracts practices. If a firm does not have a distinct commercial contracts team, the corporate dept will review commercial contracts.
I assume that a commercial contracts practice focus on drawing up, analysing/interpreting commercial contracts e.g., supply/distribution agreements, joint venture agreements etc.
A corporate practice deals with M&A/ PE transactions (dependent on how a law firm organises its practice areas). It focuses on facilitating transactions/deal execution/advising on sales and acquisitions. For example a clear separation that I can think of is if there is a purchase transaction of a business, as part of a due diligence process, a corporate practice would review documents relating to a target’s ownership structure (shareholders’ agreements/articles of association, statutory books etc), whereas a commercial contracts practice would review documents relating to the target’s commercial agreements as listed above. Others included service contracts, franchising, technology arrangements, advertising contracts etc.
