For anyone with knowledge of Sullivan & Cromwell, they have a generalist approach. Is this another term for “full-service” or is there a difference?

Goodwin open day invite, is it online for everyone? They originally said that they would invite unsuccessful candidates to participate online, but the email says i've been successful and that they've made the "difficult decision" to move it online. Basically I want to know whether they're lying to me 😅
At last, Goodwin open day invite.
linklaters open day invite!
That's also what I was thinking, I just wanted to double check to make sure! These apps make me stress about the tiniest details 😭 Thank you so much for answering quickly
I did graduate uni in the UK and have a right to work here as I have an English passport, I just didn't go to an English school. It would be a bit weird to not accept based on GCSEs even though I did an degree in the UK no?
@Jessica Booker any thoughts?

I got the invite and was told it would be online due to train strikes. I don’t think it’s a case of not being successful enough for in person as they would have probably said in the email that they would like to move you specifically to the online one.
I also got an invite to their open day, but yesterday. For me the email said that there is potential for rail disruption so they'll keep under consideration whether to hold the day online. I received an email today saying they've moved it online.
They're not lying to you, and congrats!
Hi, firstly congratulations on getting the written exercise stage for Dechert and same here I haven't heard from HL,WC, Covington so I think its pretty standard. If you don't me asking I have my written exercise for Derchert coming up is there anything you could share about it. Was it a case study exercise , did you find it challenging ?
Thanks for confirming! I'm pretty disappointed it's online but oh well I guess it's somethingI also got an invite to their open day, but yesterday. For me the email said that there is potential for rail disruption so they'll keep under consideration whether to hold the day online. I received an email today saying they've moved it online.
They're not lying to you, and congrats!
I saw the train strikes might be cancelled so I guess there’s still hope it’ll be in person for you!
