Ask yourself which firm will either protect your hairline or pay for the transplant

No, it asks you questions, and you choose between 2 options by moving your mouse to an answer

Hi guys! I am attending the Bird&Bird open day and was working on my application for the vac scheme when i came across this q: "Please list any events you have attended or interactions you have had with Bird & Bird before submitting this application. Please include only the name of the event (or interaction) and the date." I haven't yet had any interactions with the firm but i was wondering could i put the open day in it but just clarify my future attendance?
