    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Ah gotcha, ok it just seemed a very strange and notable emphasis on 'this region' given they are such a global firm. You know what it's like, we are supposed to very clearly address every part of the question, and directing part of my limited-time answer to why I would want to be a CC Lawyer in...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Annoyingly, my previous message has been deleted because I disclosed the CC video interview question, even though they disclose it to us well in advance! So it's no more of a secret than any other application question. Back to the point - @Jessica Booker or anyone who can help - was hoping for...

    Yes I think they must do. I submitted mine 2 weeks ago - no word yet.

    Yes - you are not wrong! it absolutely is harder. And I think, you have to work at a faster speed too? I was grateful to have still passed.

    Taylor Wessing Application

    What kind of test is it? Is it something you can prepare for or no?

    Taylor Wessing Application

    Thank you for this. Question: Taylor Wessing's website has a video emphasising the need to prepare for any online tests or assessments. Yet I can't find anything about the test they administer, other than in the forums here. I only know, therefore, that TW requires some sort of 'online games...

    Taylor Wessing Application

    I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your query - but does anyone know whether the character limit includes spaces? PRAYING not. I hate to email them to ask, it is such a silly question.

    Clifford Chance single essay question

    I recently finished my CC application and was ready to submit it. However, feedback from friends suggests (and I agree) that it now reads quite densely, abruptly, and heavily from the start. I am (of course) absolutely maxed out at 500 words and have tightened the wording so much that it is...

    Clifford Chance single essay question

    Ah, I thought it was a competency question. Ok I getcha. A more concise situation, Action/Result approach, then! Hoorah for words saved. Thank you.

    Clifford Chance single essay question

    Hi all - yes I am struggling with this too. Is it enough to say: This was my Situation, Task, Action, Result. And of course, display a link to the core competencies within the task, action or results. But importantly - without actually linking it back every time to say 'this will help me as a...

    Clifford Chance single essay question

    Morning all A question for you regarding CC's direct Training Contract application question. The question reads: In no more than 500 words, please tell us about your extra-curricular activities, positions of responsibility and an achievement of importance which you are most proud of. How will...

    Forage description in Work Exp section - how detailed?

    Jessica - do recruitment teams actually look at the answers you've submitted during your Forage work experience? I'm doing one right now and found one of the tasks pretty tricky. I feel I could have done a better job if I'd spent MUCH more time on it, time that wasn't probably worth it given my...

    The value of Insight/Open Days?

    Oh my goodness this helps so much to hear. Thank you for weighing in, Jessica.

    The value of Insight/Open Days?

    Hi Natasha - (or anyone who wants to weigh in here) I have been rejected for a few Open Days now, most recently Latham and Mishcon. This is pretty gutting, after all it's just an Open Day. I was sincerely interested in these firms, which I expressed after lengthy and sincere firm research...

    Latham & Wakins Open Day 2023-4

    I had never done a VI before and was not ready for that AT ALL - totally flubbed it. My answer did not at all represent my speaking abilities. But am hopeful regardless, as I think on the rest I did well. I agree, I had never expected quite so much work for an Open Day application. I am happy...
