    Hi Laura, thanks for the advice! :) I just wanted to get your thoughts on something. I'm quite conscious of the fact that getting intricate details on specific firm deals can often be a bit of a Hail Mary (unless you have resources, then please suggest! :)). As an alternative to what you...

    Second this. I know Orrick and Goodwin have a pretty consistent direct TC intake. Weil appears to be, for all intents and purposes, a sole recruiter from its vacation scheme despite having a direct TC option, however, if anyone has info to the contrary I'd love to be proven wrong as I'd really...

    Trowers and Hamlins PFO! Not too surprising given that I realised after submitting I had ended one of the questions with: 'I look forward to beginning my career at Latham'.

    I've applied this cycle and gotten through to the next stage. for 'Why Taylor Vinters' I wrote out two reasons long form (entrepreneurial outlook and small trainee intake) then cut out all the unnecessary stuff which whittled it down to 100 words.
