Hi does anyone know that can you reapply to Latham's TC after being unsuccessful in vac scheme application? The application portal said 'we strongly recommend you do not submit an application for TC vacancy', but my profile has been significantly stronger since I applied for VS.- BM99

Just a silly question, does it matter a lot about where you complete your training contract? For instance, if I did not do a training contract at a MC firm, just a ordinary global law firm, can I still transfer to MC firms or top US firms in the future?- BM99

Just received an update from Mayer Brown that they cannot give me an offer at this time, but they said they are looking at increasing the numbers on the vacation scheme so may be in touch in due course regarding an offer... Has anyone encountered this situation before lol, or has anyone...- BM99

Well they said that they will assess you holistically throughout the whole recruitment process. So the interview will not be the single assessment they rely on.- BM99
