I think Ropes is the only completely CV-blind firm I've applied to so far, and I love it. Echoing you, it totally makes sense that privilege/background/everything else that comes with differing socio-economic backgrounds will affect your grades and access to co-curriculars! Which is why...- Jony

For those wondering if Dechert has sent out VIs: - they have sent out VIs since the start of Jan - they've had at least 2 ACs so far It seems to be quite staggered, so I think they're recruiting in batches. I did my VI last week, and applied on the deadline.- Jony

Depends on how much notice the firm gives you. I had two weeks to prepare for Ashurst, so I spent the first week literally trawling the firm's website until I knew every sub-link and had a solid idea of the workings of the time (and random statistics and facts that were stored in my long-term...- Jony

For Ropes, according to last year's results, some people started getting AC invites around the 6th of Feb, with acceptances and rejections up to the 28th of Feb - this year might take a bit longer, so I'd say the early results should be coming out soonish! But no news yet.- Jony

I think one of the best parts of the TCLA community is that everyone meets here with their own definition of success. We meet here all trying to encourage each other as we pursue that personal success we’re aiming to shoot for. Even if someone gets a TC, that might not be what, to them, is what...- Jony

Do what you gotta do mate! Don't feel ashamed. You're incredibly talented to get this far already and if you really wanted a US firm experience you could always take a risk and take another cycle. Alternatively, you can always be headhunted if you put your head down and switch to a US firm...- Jony

General Discussion Thread 2020-21
Haha plenty to learn from here! Youtube videos on understanding market fundamentals are a way to start. Download a paper trading account (trading fake money) and trade with low risk. I trade crypto, so you could start by seeing the different alt coins (the DeFI infrastructure for instance) and...- Jony

I answered it by talking about the ability to future-proof tech-relevancy. I used examples of successful lawyers being able to individually use RPA to automate their admin, using coding to sieve out relevant data for court etc. I linked it to the ability to widen their client net - (law firms as...- Jony
