Trowers & Hamlins
It's one of the hardest application questions I've seen, so I don't blame you for finding it tough! That sounds like a sensible approach. I took the same approach when answering a similar question here...- Jaysen

Baker McKenzie Question
Yeah it seems like they would have wanted you to apply for the Spring scheme. Probably worth an email to see whether it's a strict rule.- Jaysen

A commercial/business story sounds good. It can be effective to have a personal element to justify why a topic interests you, but it's not necessary.- Jaysen

US trade war with China
China says it is "ready to work" with the US: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46714985 In mock interviews, I often ask students whether the US tariffs are justified if they bring China to the table. It'll be interesting to see what, if any, policy changes are made during these negotiations.- Jaysen

I don't personally see a problem with it. There are many ways to approach applications and I think it's helpful for others to receive feedback from a variety of people (if you guys are brave enough to share). I'd say it's especially useful for those who want to shape up their application before...- Jaysen

Eversheds Sutherland Application
Sounds great. There's not one right answer. You just need to demonstrate you understand what's important and clearly explain how you'd go about handling a difficult situation. It sounds like you've thought about that. All suitable. I'd be tempted to choose the first one. It's interesting when...- Jaysen

Summer Vacation Scheme Thread 2019
Agreed with all of the above. Any of them could be both an opportunity and a challenge. FYI - it's OK to be cliche for questions like these. Now just try to narrow down what you want to talk about for each reason. Try to be specific and think about how you can apply it to your understanding of...- Jaysen

Any thoughts?
I don't see it being a problem. The firm had this information to hand and made an offer anyway. That clause in the TC contract sounds like it's for candidates who are yet to complete their LPC, deterring students from slacking and giving firms an out if candidates don't do well. In any case...- Jaysen
