    Training Contracts for Beginners

    All seem like credible arguments you can make. In your answer, just be sure you are writing about why XYZ is an opportunity. The way the points are phrased at the moment come across a bit more like responses rather than opportunities (but that may just be the way I'm interpreting them)...

    Asking for a TC in a different office?

    This is tricky. Would you only like to work at the firm if it's in the London office or would you be happy to stick with Bristol if they say no?

I doubt I'll cover derivatives in the finance and capital markets class as it's beyond the level you need to know for interview. I...

    Company Law - Challenges of Limited Liability

    Hmm, that's an interesting one. When we're comparing equity investors and creditors, we're usually doing so in the context of your second interpretation, so the benefits of limited liability for shareholders v the the desire for creditors to be paid what they are owed. I'm not entirely sure...

    Travers Smith Interview

    Yep, it does seem like they filled up without reading through your applications. Strange because some of you applied in December.

    UCAS points

    This isn't really clear to me either. I feel like they should have said 'score' rather than grades in their guidance note. Does anyone have experience with this? If not, worth shooting them an email.

    Orrick Open Day 2019

    Not yet, I'm a little behind on the insights! Once the M&A class comes out, I'm hoping to get round to a few more of these. Macfarlanes is next on the list and then I'll do a post in the premium forum asking for requests.

    Is it the Bose QC 31 II? I did strongly consider that along with Sennheiser HD598 (open back headphones). After spending way too much time researching headphones, I ended up going for these guys: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50X-Monitor-Professional-Headphones/dp/B00HVLUR86...
