• Although we love and have implemented AI in all aspects of our firm, we kindly ask that you do not use AI to draft your application or emails to us. We will need to understand your style of writing, thought process and skills and are not fully able to do so if AI is used. The thing with AI is that it blends people and thoughts together so it is 1) easy to tell if someone has used AI and 2) sometimes hard to tell who should be picked for an interview. We do not want to harm your chances hence this message.
