[LegallyBrunette_]

Does anyone have any insight on the Greenberg Traurig first-stage written exercise? I am happy to help out with a range of firms including US, magic circle, silver circle ones.

Ropes and gray pfo earlier this morning. Not surprised but I am wondering how they make a selection when they only asked one question and didn’t use any online assessments.

Anyone heard from Withers?

I think they said end of the month so should be this week!

Are there any "easy" TC applications still open that I can do (i.e not much to do on the initial app)

I think Mayer Brown and Macfarlanes only ask for work experience and have 1 app question but I’m sure there are probs other firms too.​

Does anyone know if Paul, Weiss has sent out Summer VS ACs yet?

Seems like rejections have been sent out, but there are still some people who are awaiting a response.
