Clyde & Co video interview Summer Vac Scheme 2021
Unfortunately our policy is not to allow members to disclose video interview questions in the forums. People can talk about the general themes of the questions or give you advice on how to prepare, but they wouldn’t be allowed to disclose the actual questions.- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask Alice G (Future Trainee at Freshfields) Anything!
Hi - Alice isn’t as active on the forums these days as she is currently busy with her LPC. But I think she’s agree with me that it is fine to do this if you think it is still your best example.- TCLA Community Assistant

If it is clearly from the third party (eg on head paper) I think this is fine. No one would be able to guarantee a reference from anyone within 24 hours (which seems super bizarre if that’s what they are really asking for).- TCLA Community Assistant

Law Firm Application Questions
That can be one aspect you talk about. Reasons for applying to the firm are often multi faceted, and it’s typically a mix of the type of work they do, the firm’s culture, the opportunities they provide to their trainee hires etc. So if diversity is important to you and you feel the firm’s...- TCLA Community Assistant

Law Firm Application Questions
Your interest doesn’t have to stem from working in those areas. You might have an interest from your studies, or from what you read in the papers, you might just have a connection to that type of area (eg you have worked in real estate before, or have studied financial modules). Your interest...- TCLA Community Assistant

International Students & Vacation Schemes
Firms won’t sponsor visas for vacation schemes. The cost and process alone would be more than the scheme itself. Interestingly the law makes it somewhat difficult to ask candidates about their work permit status, which is why many firms don’t ask.- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes - they will want specific details, either the name of the firm and the type of event, or even when it happened (even if it is just something like “autumn 2020”. It is usually a good place to include virtual vacation schemes or e-learning platforms too.- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes - sounds perfectly ok to use. My only advice would be to really try to focus on the innovation you implemented. I see a lot of these answers around adapting society activities online, and my only concern is that everyone had to do that - it wasn’t necessarily innovation just necessity...- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Generally I’d go with most recent first. Your more recent grades will always be of more interest than your older ones as it’s generally more reflective of your capabilities now.- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Lots of people apply successfully with no exposure to cross border/international legal work. It’s just about aligning your interests to the detail of what international means. For some people it will be the variety, for the next it might be the fact they have to work with lots of different...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
This will sound brutal but this isn’t true though. You have said you can’t remember much about the events, and therefore nothing at those events did draw you back to the firm, otherwise you’d remember what it was exactly that drew you back. The firm isn’t going to ask you what you did on the...- TCLA Community Assistant

It doesn't haven't to. But it depends on the context of why you are talking about deal. If it is just about your general interests/something you have read, then it's not an issue. If it is more about your interest in the work you would be doing at the firm, then it is definitely more important...- TCLA Community Assistant

You could just create a section in your CV which lists careers events attended/conferences etc, and just put them as headings in that section with no other detail. Could look something like this: Careers events and conferences: • Open Day - Slaughter and May, April 2018 • Careers presentation...- TCLA Community Assistant

Is there real meaning/purpose to naming them? It sounds like you had decided to apply to the form before you met them. Is there anything from conversation that has changed your opinions/view of the firm that is substantial enough to reference in a cover letter?- TCLA Community Assistant
