As a Colombian it is firmly at the top of my favourite Disney films but it’s also so empowering and has great music!Guys, if you feel down or demotivated watch the new Disney cartoon "Encanto".
It is exceptionally good!
Congratulations to you also and I got it an hour ago.Omg yesss! Got it this morning as well
Yeah they’re doing interview between today and WednesdayHey all! I was wondering if anyone has heard anything from Davis Polk since applying? Their website said they will host interviews in mid-January, however, I haven't heard anything back yet. Wondering if others haven't back either or are they one of the firms which essentially air applicants if rejected. Thanks!
I start with a practice area. For example, I am interested in litigation so I go on Legal500, check which other firms are ranked and then compare them. I also use the lawyer and google (news section) to see if the firm is on a particular company's legal panel.I would like to ask how people answer questions like 'how our firm differentiate itself from our competitors?' In what way should we define competitors, and in what perspective should we look from?
I am so sorry! when did you submit your WG if you don't mind me asking?PFO from Mills & Reeve, post WG. Bit of a stinger as I was really taken with the firm, but still - we move 😢🥺
Having done IB recruitment, I would stress that what they are looking for can be very different to law firms.PFO from Macfarlanes.. This is my first proper round of applications (did 3 last year that were generic and rushed) and I really struggle to know if I'm writing them in the right way or if I'm just going the complete wrong route with them. I've done a year of IB applications where I got to AC multiple times and almost always got past the application stage/test stage, but I feel so uncertain with my law apps despite trying to implement all the advice around. It feels super hard to write apps without the confidence of knowing that your writing can get past a certain stage!
Identifying competitors is from all perspectives - firms with similar practice areas strengths, international presence (maybe in same jurisdictions or target particular markets), origins (i.e. if they're both US firms), strategy.I would like to ask how people answer questions like 'how our firm differentiate itself from our competitors?' In what way should we define competitors, and in what perspective should we look from?
Oh, thanks so much! Appreciate itYeah they’re doing interview between today and Wednesday
Thank you, gotta keep persevering! I submitted on the 07/01/2021 - hope that helps!I am so sorry! when did you submit your WG if you don't mind me asking?
Often good answers will explain how they have defined competitors - there is no one way about this, but explaining how you have categorised competitors can often lead to a more compelling answer.I would like to ask how people answer questions like 'how our firm differentiate itself from our competitors?'

Thank you so much, which office? I applied in dec and didn't hear back yetThank you, gotta keep persevering! I submitted on the 07/01/2021 - hope that helps!
Thank you for the advice, Jessica!Having done IB recruitment, I would stress that what they are looking for can be very different to law firms.
I would encourage you to get your applications reviewed by someone from your careers service with specific knowledge of law firms or by someone in the profession. As well as TCLA’s information and services, there are a whole load of free resources or people you can utilise to make you feel more confident as to what you are doing is right (and to get constructive feedback on where to improve).
