if a question asks us to focus on a specific practice group at the firm - is this like antitrust practice group and PE etc?
Is attaching a blind CV indicative of removing both the names of the workplaces and academic institutions, or does it solely mean removing the academic names?
@Jessica Booker would appreciate your input on this, thanks in advance

Baker McKenzie holding email says:
We will review applications on a rolling basis and you will be advised if you are successful to progressing to the next stage, an online test, by no later than 31st December 2022.
I am assuming the 2022 is a typo lol
Has anyone heard back about the online assessment?

How does everyone tend to approach application questions such as: "Describe a particularly challenging experience you have faced and the way you dealt with it. This could be an incident from any part of your life" ?
Do you tend to go for examples from work/extra curricular activities and show how you worked through it or more thematic examples from life/experience more generally?

The 31st date could be a mistake too considering how late they opened apps.
The email I received said:
Thank you for taking the time to complete Baker McKenzie's online application form for a place on our Spring Vacation Scheme.

I am still waiting on the WG for hogan Lovells, I thought you were sent it automatically upon submitting? I submitted my app on the 22nd and still waiting 
It is not reviewed, so whether you have received it yet or not has no bearing... unless you are concerned about applying fast as its rolling. HL notoriously take a while to send the WG despite it being "automatic"I am still waiting on the WG for hogan Lovells, I thought you were sent it automatically upon submitting?

I am currently working on Reed Smith’s application and was wondering for the question “Focusing on one of Reed Smith’s sectors, what current issues do you think will impact this sector? What opportunities or challenges could this present Reed Smith or our clients? (300 words)” Do I have to talk about more than one issue? I‘ve picked one issue to dive into and that was already 250 words. I feel like I won’t be able to cover the issue in depth otherwise. Anybody has similar experience or advice?
hope it went well! could I kindly ask how much prep time they give for each question please?just did the CMS VI! can anyone who's done it PM me pls
Can someone confirm if these are T&H questions:
Who are our main competitors and how do we differentiate ourselves from them?
What makes you particularly suited to a career at Trowers & Hamlins compared to other applicants?
Describe a recent commercial news story that interested you and explain how it relates to us.
Please tell us about your interests, extra-curricular activities and achievements you're particularly proud of.

I didn't get a bounce back or anything using the one from their website (I use Gmail). How'd you know it didn't work?
Do not want to get in trouble in TCLA for breaching the rules.
