Whats up with the lack of Guys and POC in AC's?
Actually, there is some evidence to support that statement in some areas. Only last year the Department for Education released some pretty shocking statistics that show that white working-class males are the least represented group and least likely group to go to university with the gap only...- Daniel Boden

TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)
Is there a 'mentor' or more senior colleague in the company or in your network you have a close relationship you could mention this to? I'd frame it as a 'hypothetically, if this happened... how would you handle it?' and see what they say - it might be quite helpful just to get their advice for...- Daniel Boden

Haha as an Arsenal fan I doubt watching your team causes as much annoyance as watching Arsenal does for me, especially this season 😂😭 For me, my outlet has always been sport, with field hockey in particular being my biggest focus away from applications. Training with senior internationals...- Daniel Boden

GDL UoL vs BPP - current situation/quality of teaching
I posted this in another thread but just to add my perspective, I've done the GDL at ULaw this year and have been really impressed with the care and attention they have to students in the pandemic e.g. with exam extensions, well-organised timetables, good quality teaching, sending out physical...- Daniel Boden

GDl in sept at UoL or PDGL in Jan?
I'm not sure @Alice G had a choice because of her training contract with Freshfields which has links with BPP? Just to add my perspective, I've done the GDL at ULaw this year and have been really impressed with the care and attention they have to students in the pandemic e.g. with exam...- Daniel Boden

I'd definitely look to do some PE research and build up your knowledge so you can try and impress on your scheme since PE is as you say such a big part of the firm. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't to reach out to people in those WC/investigation teams if that's what interests you! On the...- Daniel Boden

Yeah I would agree with that - seems an unnecessarily risky move especially when we are yet to see what the full impact of Covid will be in terms of office space/usage, WFH etc. On the other hand, they obviously are confident and have done extensive DD on this as otherwise, they wouldn't be...- Daniel Boden

TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)
I guess the amount of time that option could take, how tricky it is to find a potential firm to partner with and match values/create synergies etc. One just needs to take a look at A&O and O'Melveny's failed merger which involved years of talks before ultimately failing so I imagine that's a...- Daniel Boden

What's your take on this? Personally, if they think that is the best way they'll be able to push their expansion into Asia and move into different practice areas then all power to the firm! However, there is always the risk of a Deliveroo-style IPO debut which could backfire and perhaps even...- Daniel Boden
