Appreciate it, many thanks all!

I am in the process of finalising this section. I would love to get it reviewed - where and how can I do this please?
Hello @Lastseasonwonder, you can purchase a review HERE. Alternatively, you could also purchase a gold membership to get a review every month, which is also included in the link.

does anyone know if these firm will be willing to provide visa sponsorship for the tcs?
Hey @Peter Hsu. Yes, you are correct. With the larger law firms on the list, visa sponsorship is provided. It is worth checking the FAQ section of a firm’s website, as well as emailing graduate recruitment in case you have any questions surrounding a firms capacity to sponsor candidates.

Thank you for this amazing thread!! Quick q - any insight on whether Latham is offering Winter Vac Schemes this cycle? Their website has dates for summer and spring but no mention of winter, despite them offering it previously..
Hey @ashwright. Yes, you are right. The firm will only be offering spring and summer schemes this year.
