TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

Have lots of people heard from Travers??
I feel like I may have got a PFO, checked for the email in my special “PFO you loser” file, lol, and it wasn’t there.
I am now genuinely worried I dreamed the PFO from stress and haven’t actually heard anything at all … delirium is setting in early this cycle 😐

Yeah I haven't seen anyone hear back from Travers yet

I haven't heard back from them either but the deadline was 17 Jan so I would just hold tight and wait patiently (easier said than done - I know!).

I remember seeing on their Instagram story a while back where they mentioned they would get back to people by mid-February so stay positive 🙂

Yeah I haven't seen anyone hear back from Travers yet

Thanks guys

Just to clarify, I am not sure if this is the correct addressee. I looked up the names of the graduate recruitment team, and a few people came up.

In an earlier comment I think Kathryn Edwards was mentioned, but I am not sure if that is right. If anyone knows please let me know!

Ah ok, I checked on Lawcareers.net and it stated application to GR

Sorry if this has been discussed before but where should a law firm open a new office where they have one almost everywhere

How many offices do they have in Germany and if they only have 1 office in 1 city in Germany then open offices in more cities in Germany. This is just a suggestion.

why could you please explain more?

why could you please explain more?

Many international firms choose to open more than one office in Germany. This article explains nicely I think why they might choose to do so. https://www.crasnerconsulting.com/news/germany-law-firm-international-expansion/

 

[Rob93]

W Germany in particular the different cities have very different economies - the big ones are Frankfurt, which is finance-driven, and Munich which is industrial & tech. So if a firm is good globally on both finance and corporate, currently only acting in Frankfurt, there's a business case to be made for setting up in Munich as well.

I haven't heard either. They said they'd get back to people through February and early march as well I believe

This is extremely good, much more thorough than my comment.

I've never got the PFO from the app I sent back in 2019, that's just typical Travers

I would also add that Munich is one the capitals for patent lawsuits!

I was thinking that also as when researching a US law firm the other day I saw that they only have an office in Frankfurt so that is why I thought Germany.

I hope this is helpful and that is why.
