There are some CV templates here: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/cv-templates.2296/Morning @Jessica Booker and @axelbeugre: Does TCLA have an example cover and/or CV template that could be used as a base for writing one? Thanks in advance
I emailed them about a week or so ago for an estimated timeline (because I'd have to move to London for it so would like a little warning) and they said 2 weeks (so end of this week in theory) is the estimate for hearing about Spring, but I'm not holding out hope that they stick to that 🤣Anyone have any idea when Stephenson Harwood usually get back to applicants with regards to their Spring and/or Summer Vacation scheme?

When did you get their VI?i did their winter vac scheme and they got back to me around 2 weeks before the start of the scheme
After the VI?I emailed them about a week or so ago for an estimated timeline (because I'd have to move to London for it so would like a little warning) and they said 2 weeks (so end of this week in theory) is the estimate for hearing about Spring, but I'm not holding out hope that they stick to that 🤣
I was looking at a draft of my motivation for wanting to join a firm that I handed in a long time ago. (i'm not sure if it was the official one I handed in). I realised in my first paragraph I kinda bombed it. In it, I said that it was a regional firm when it's considered a national firm. I also said that I want to work in a firm that has a strong multi-jurisdictional environment (whatever the f that means). Lol don't judge, sometimes we have shakey starts and performances.
I just wanted to clarify on the differences between a National and Regional firm. there's so much crossover that sometimes I get confused about how a firm should be classified. I realise a rule of thumb is to go by what the firms say about themselves but it's hard to keep up when you read multiple sources about the firm that say different things.
For example, Chambers Students and AllAboutLaw will say Pinsent Masons, Addleshaw Goddard and CMS are national firms. But they are also international, particularly CMS because it was created by a merger with a German firm. A lot of the time these firms will say they are "global or international".
Mills and Reeve and Womble Bond Dickinson are considered national but M&R is referred to highly for its regional strengths and base by multiple sources. Sometimes it will be mentioned as a Regional Firm. Also, WBD is a US-based firm.
I know it's pedantic but I'm worried these minor references are super important for GradRec when reviewing. Do you think I will be forgiven if I make this sort of mistake when it's not wholly true or false?
With the multi-jurisdictional bit, I realised I should have been clearer because the firm is national and has no offices abroad but it regularly advises clients in different jurisdictions such as South Africa. It's not grouped as an international firm though.
Any advice?! Lol, I hope what I've said makes sense.
