    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I applied towards the end of December and haven't heard anything from them since. I've already heard back from all of my other applications and got a TC offer from another firm so I'm tempted to withdraw my MoFo app but I can't find an email address for their Graduate/Trainee recruitment anywhere!

    AC - is each part given equal weight?

    This is going to be different for each firm. On the Linklaters AC, we were told that we had to pass each component of the AC in order to be made an offer (i.e. doing well in one interview was not going to mitigate not doing as well in the other interview). Similarly, at an AC for another firm...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hi! Hope you're feeling okay (and it's completely fine and normal if you're not)! I also went through 2 cycles at university without securing any vacation schemes despite having submitted 10+ applications both cycles, attending so many open days and networking events, and having my...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hi! Thought I would jump in as this was something that was also on my mind. I found this decision tree quite helpful - SRA | LPC or SQE decision tree | Solicitors Regulation Authority. If you're the same as me (done the LPC and got a TC lined up) then we can qualify under the current route...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Hi Teniola For the WG test, I recommend doing as many practice tests as you can in the run up to taking the actual test. This might not be for everyone but I think what helped me improve my score was investing in a critical thinking guide (a search on Amazon will bring up quite a few) which...

    case study help

    Hi there! My initial thoughts - I think it really depends on the bargaining power of the Buyer and if there is an actual threat of the employee leaving and setting up a competing business to the Target. I think it’s more common for the Buyer to include non-compete clauses in the SPA against the...

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    They use an algorithm to rank everyone based on your WG results and your CAPP results and then they only invite those that are say ranked 1st-200th to the AC. This is what my friend told me as he used to work at Links and he applied for the direct TC but was unsuccessful. He managed to probe...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Has anyone looked at the TC application questions for A&O? The form is so annoying as you can't look at the different sections and you have to complete everything from the start (there's also no back button so I can't click through to see the questions and then click back to the start of the...
