Hi guys, do we know when Shoosmiths close their apps for discovery placement? Hoping it's tomorrow at midnight

Hello @Abbie Whitlock

I was just wondering - for a short note and report, do you need a header with information like to, from, date etc - like what you would do in a memo? And, would you include an executive summary and/or conclusion for either of them?

Thank you

I totally get this point. That being said, I despise video interviews, so I do appreciate being able to do them in-person.

On a related note, I would be interested if anyone knows if firms are willing to a) reimburse any accomodation for people who show need and/or B) be flexible as to time of the AC or C) do it in a virtual format

I see what you mean-- I do know that when I did an AC with Taylor Wessing they gave options for both in-person and online to accommodate these differences (and at a grad event, they noted that they statistically take the same proportion for VSs from both formats). I would def support this being more common as I haven't seen any other firm offer this!

Is AG sending out any more VIs for ldn ?

 

[CharlesT47]

Yeah im sure they already gave out the rejections

What do you mean? The AC rejections? There’s been rejections post AC already?

Hey, congrats! Just wondering roughly when you completed the Clyde & Co VI?

On the deadline, and I think they sent all invitations at once because the only available dates are 10 and 12/2 and slots are first come first served.
