Hi!

The partners are so nice!

I'm applying to Freshfields for their summer 2025 vac scheme tonight and was wondering you'd be willing to have a look at my statement since you're someone who amazingly got an offer for the vacation scheme last cycle.

Hi Amma,

I hope you're doing well. May I send you a PM regarding certain specific questions I have about a-level/undergraduate requirements of law firms and the consideration of mitigating circumstances? I have a unique situation and am struggling a little with navigating through it.

Thank you!
