    I can’t believe I’m saying this but I just signed my first TC with Pinsent Masons!!! I’m still in disbelief, but I wanna give a massive “thank you” to the TCLA team! Six months ago, I made the then seemingly unrealistic decision to pursue a career in commercial law. Coming from a background...

    They told me I took such an innovative approach with my presentation by picking a specific company to talk about and I was like “was that not the prompt?” Then I realised “talk about 3 different business operations in a company at risk of greenwashing” meant “companies in general” and not “pick...

    I feel like Simmons & Simmons hates me at this point. I’ve emailed them twice and called 3 times in the past week and still haven’t managed to get an update regarding the technical issue in their VI.

    I applied last year, they only send tests out to a number of applicants but they should email you a PFO. However, I applied back in October and still haven’t heard back so maybe they’re not sending out PFOs this year.

    Not sure this is the right place to ask but I recently booked a mock interview with TCLA and have been trying to reschedule it since I can no longer attend it but I haven’t been successful. Can anybody advise what I can do?

    I was just doing the Simmons & Simmons Blended Assessment and when I reached the VI stage, it says “Thank you for completing the Simmons & Simmons online assessment” before I could even read the question. I didn’t answer a single question and they’ve already sent me a feedback report. 😭 I’m...
