When do you think we will find out about the open day. The October one is coming up

Honestly no idea; I know that Clifford Chance lets people know one week in advance, but I also recently applied to a dinner event with Linklaters that said they will let you know no less than 48 hours in advance?? So I hope tomorrow but could be much later

How do people tend to approach applying for VS’ when you’re waiting on hearing about an OD from the firm? Do you hold off until you find out?

For me personally I hold off. I have specifically applied to three open days only cuz I need more information on those firms😭

I need to attend and if I don't get in, I will shamelessly beg anyone that goes for notes

Should agreements like share purchase agreement or debenture agreement be capitalised? I have tried looking this up but can't seem to find what the rule is when it comes to names of agreements.

I personally don't capitalise them as I don't really see any reason to, I see them more as types of agreements rather than names of agreements as such, hope that helps!

Is it worth applying to DLA now? I really want to apply but I think they’re rolling

They are rolling but apply anyway!This is for their summer internship. Its too early to give up x

No DLA Piper is not rolling this year, someone in this thread said it before andI emailed grad rec couple weeks ago they confirmed it

Thank you! And perhaps it's rolling like Goodwin as I applied on Monday last week

Ahh okay thanks! Guess this time i won't be getting that invite and visiting them haha

They are rolling - they emailled me today about it.

What? Really? I'm pretty sure I received an email from them saying that they are non rolling this year, and I saw multiple replies in this thread saying that they're not rolling this year?
