@Jaysen has made a post on this in the past which I’ve linked here - https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/ams/what-i-found-out-about-private-credit.500/
I have applied but not given the vi yet, will do it by tomorrow. On that note, if anyone has any tips or advise please please reply to the thread or pm me. Many thanks
any updates from baker mckenzie? completed my VI on the 27th, and the email said to hear back within 2 weeks.
expecting a PFO but would still like confirmation lol

Hi,
I am planning to do the Fladgate VI tomorrow and was wondering if anyone would be willing to share (I would be very grateful!) which type of question it was (motivation/competency/commercial). It's only one question so it's a bit of a hit or miss and I don't usually have great results with VI...

4 questions, you get 2 minutes to prepare for each and get 2 recording takes

Yes - definitely not an issue to do this, just don’t take it personally if they don’t respond or feel like they can’t help. Sometimes people may not have the time or energy to advise people, but there is absolutely not issue in asking just in case they can.
I did it last cycle, feel free to drop me a line!
An email saying they are still looking at applications and they are not getting back to the Direct TC applicants till later in the month. The holding email from CRS was for the direct TC applicants incase anyone was worried.
I am going to ask possibly the stupidest question to ever be posted here: what pronouns should you use when talking about a law firm? It feels natural to me to say they/their (I guess because I think of a firm as a collection of people?) but articles always seem to say it/its - also does it even matter as long as I'm consistent?
Planning to do it soon also so can't help re type of question but would prep a mix of comptency / what can you bring to the role type questions and why fladgate / area that we specialise in etc. Good luck!!!
would it not come across as negative to ask for like content insights into the firm's application process ? they might refer it to grad rec for example?
Hi @elsx, I won't be doing it until Wednesday and would be eternally grateful if you could share what the question is ahead of time. Thank you in advance!
thank you so much!! was getting a bit worried there because haven't heard back haha
It definitely won’t appear as negative. Potentially if you come across as pushy or wanting inside information that puts you at an advantage but chances are trainees have no insight at all into what the current questions are for the VI so they might not be able to offer a lot of advice maybe just more general tips!
Hi I won't be releasing the exact question as the firm might not agree with this and I do not believe this would be very fair. General advice is fine.
