    Addleshaw Goddard Question

    No problem, I think it depends on how broadly you interpret 'legal issues'. I'd class new regulations as legal issues. (Although at the time, with LIBOR, I was actually referring to the legal consequences for banks who manipulated the rate.)

    Osborne Clarke VS Question

    I love it when candidates show they've thought about a question before asking, so good job! 1. Plan sounds great. 2. I agree, this question can seem quite difficult. You have flexibility with your approach provided you make sure you cover all parts of the question. Yep, so beyond just a...

    Hi Jess - would you prefer a Word version, or do you have no preference?

    Mishcon de Reya issue question

    The first point is also what makes it stand out to me. Its history in private client work feeds into some pretty unique cases (like the Article 50 litigation) and you can see that reflected in how the firm brands itself. I believe Mishcon is also more litigation-focused compared to the...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Think there may be a mixup here, Sherard is asking about this question: ‘Why are you interested in pursuing a career at the firm and what skills, qualities and attributes would you bring to the role?’.

    Mishcon de Reya issue question

    The first half sounds fine. It's hard to know whether the second half is too generic without seeing it. I'm not a huge fan of the 'high profile cases' answer, unless you're being more specific e.g. the cases are in a particular sector and you have an interest in that sector. Note, you don't...

    Server Upgrade - 24-48 Hours

    Looks like we've finally worked out what the issue is. TCLA should be pretty much back to normal now. The 503 error may still come up from time to time - if so, please refresh the page a couple of times. We are currently working to fix this.

    Simmons & Simmons video interview

    From what I've heard it's 90 seconds to answer the question. Not sure about the others I'm afraid.

    Server Upgrade - 24-48 Hours

    Apologies - I know some people are still having trouble accessing TCLA. For the time being, using an incognito browser seems to do the trick. This should be resolved very soon.

    Server Upgrade - 24-48 Hours

    Server Upgrade - 24-48 Hours

    Hi All, Just a heads up that I’ll be upgrading our servers tonight (so we can handle the traffic a bit better). Hopefully that time will cause the least disruption, but please note, you may have difficulties accessing TCLA over the next 24 hours (48 at most). You may also note that any posts...

    TCLA's Crash Course - We're running our first event!

    Good question! I’m not sure there’s much you need to prepare unless you had specific questions you wanted to ask on the day. I’d say the most important thing is coming on the day ready to learn and absorb as much information as possible because it’s going to be quite full on. If you did...
