    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I have the opportunity to have an informal chat with a partner at a firm I’m quite keen on. I worked with her in my current job and sent her an email expressing interest in the TC and she very kindly agreed to have a zoom call with me next week. Now that I’ve done that, though, I’m not quite...

    Anyone else get an email from Simmons saying AC will be in February? I feel quite nervous because I know people are having ACs now. (I was one of the Winter VS applicants moved to the Summer process.)

    When did you apply to TW? (In the absence of any actual information about the order in which they are inviting people to AC, I’m hoping it’s by application date.)

    I’m 30 and this is my second year applying. Law gets a lot of career changers / older applicants. I think it’s great!

    Has anyone been invited to ACs at Taylor Wessing, Simmons or Clyde & Co?

    I spoke with them at a law fair and they said the point of the cover letter is to find out about you. So why law, (briefly) why Farrers, and then focus on why you.

    Hi, hope everyone’s having a good weekend! For “share a non academic interest or achievement and what it’s taught you about yourself”, I wanted to talk about steps I took to rise to a challenge at work which helped me get a promotion. For the second part, would it be ok to explain that I’ve...

    I attended an event with them and Grad Recruitment said they look at direct TC applications in July so anything until the deadline would be considered. Do you know if people who have already applied for direct TC been progressed?

    Same boat and very confused. To me, it would seem unfair / unlikely that we would not be invited to AC if we met minimum requirements. But I have no real info.

    I asked this same question on the weekend and got some great help. If you scroll up a few pages, you should be able to find answers. ETA: I am still staring at the question and haven’t written an answer. It’s an odd one.
