    Ask Willkie Farr & Gallagher Anything!

    Hi @WillkieGemma, I loved the presentation and answers during the Legal Cheek. The most relaxed and fun stage, for sure. 😄 Two questions came up after the event. If Willkie has 20 places for spring and summer schemes, how many trainees do you usually invite for the AC? How many are retained for...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Sorry to hear that and thanks for replying, this is my first cycle. I prefer to start in 2028 start, but hoping to secure something at first. I thought WG pretty hard, even having passed the CC test. Watching YouTube videos has been the most helpful resource before taking the mock tests...

    What did you think about the difficult of the NRF and Linklaters tests? Similar to CC WG practice?

    Probably not. I completed their test and one hour later I received the email saying “Following the completion of the test, and a careful screening process, we unfortunately will not be progressing with your application.” I do not believe it would be feasible to “carefully” review the...

    Thank you! I completed the test yesterday and today CC emailed me saying I passed the WG test. Followed your tips. I watched the video from job prep test completing the full Watson Glaser test and he cleared the practice test available on the Clifford Chance website (which I was scoring max 60%).

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Appreciate! It was very similar to Addleshaw Goddard’s online test. I should have practiced more. Indeed, there was one question about departures from the hotel and arrival at the safehouse that appeared on both the AG and TW tests. At least I was able to write down the times and characters...

    Which sources did you use? I need to complete the CC test until Monday so I will keep training during the weekend and complete it on Sunday. I am using the CC practice platform but I do not know if I should try other sources like Job Prep Test.

    I have. It was very stressful, especially the video part after 28 questions. The good thing was receiving the feedback report immediately after completing the blended assessment. I performed well on the numerical tests but only average on the verbal section. The case study was okay. My...

    In the long term, you might earn higher bonuses, and it is easier to reach the billable hours target in private equity, corporate and transactional seats. Although it's a concern for post-qualification, I would check the billable hours targets of each firm on Legal Cheek. You'll find more...

    Today, I received my assessment results. I scored high in analysis, relationship building, and credibility, but low in adaptability. The results indicate that Macfarlanes are reviewing my application. Do you think my scores will positively impact the review of my application for the training...

    I found the practice exams more complicated than the actual assessment. Reading the comments and reviewing the questions on the practice exams, I was able to understand my mistakes before completing the exam earlier today. You will have 3 minutes to finish the assessment. I spent 1 minute...

    Taylor Wessing says they sponsor visas for vacation scheme (there is not a direct training contract route). According to the FAQ, Travers Smith does not sponsor visas for vacation schemes but “recommend companies such as BUNAC to help you acquire a visa”. Not sure how this company can help with...

    Thank you for sharing with so much details. Most of people tends to mention corporate law, M&A, VC, PE. Is it acceptable to refer to disputes and investigations if these are the real interests and the firm is strong in these practices?
