A student in need of direction.
I don’t have on hand references (someone might be able to provide those who may them on hand!), but generally speaking graduate solicitor apprenticeships usually are for slightly longer than TCs and tend to give you more access to other areas (I believe Weightmans for example is 33 months and...- NW Law

That's not a problem at all. A lot of people often take gap years from graduating before starting their postgraduate degrees (some take a year, some take two years, and some take a bit longer). A gap year gives you the benefit of being able to devote a lot of time to researching firms, producing...- NW Law

Very fair! I can safely say looking at our Liverpool associates they leave spot on time (some even a bit earlier). The only person staying late is a partner and even then, they're out by 6. Our London associates when I see them, seem to be working much later. WLB is definitely much better up...- NW Law

A student in need of direction.
Agreed - at first I thought there were going to be very few firms up north. But that culture has significantly changed. From a lot of events I have gone to it seems apparent that more firms are clocking on to the north/south divide - so I would watch the space in the coming years as more firms...- NW Law

I'm not too badly impacted as I'm coming from Westminster but might be worth speaking to grad as they might be able to extend their cover to all forms of transport? I know TfL are in talks today to see if they're going to call it off, but might be worth dropping them an email to see if they're...- NW Law

A student in need of direction.
I currently work in the Liverpool office for an international firm so might be able to give some rough firms... In Liverpool you have Hill Dickinson, Weightmans, and DWF. Brabners, DLA Piper, Bond Turner, and Jackson Lees are some good firms. I dont think my firm offers TCs in the Liverpool...- NW Law

Hey - for our open day we were told that offers would be sent towards mid/late March if that helps, so I don’t think offers will be out yet. Though someone might correct me if that is not the case!- NW Law

Not Jessica, but in my experience it is quite firm dependent. In my experience, Covington & Willkie have both been very supportive in supporting me with accommodation in London (I am from the north). One thing I have noticed is that for firms with regional offices tend to be slightly more...- NW Law

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
In my experience, I have had success in breaking down this question into 2-3 core reasons for the firm. Starting with 1-2 reasons (so maybe you like a firm for its PE and competition practices), identify why that practice is important to you (it might be they have a mandatory seat there or...- NW Law

Ditto this. I also think it helps those that feel they unsure about their interview performances to email your interviewers direct. At least in my experience (and I am sure this is not every firm nor every interviewer), the ones I have emailed post-interview have feedback their enjoyment talking...- NW Law

Yea, as legalregal pointed out, it does depend on the firm. Some US firms are facing transactional pressure (economic downturns, etc.) while others are facing increased pressure from governmental agencies (think like white collar crime firms who are currently dealing with hyper-aggressive...- NW Law

I am going to softly disagree with the above post (of course acknowledging it is just an opinion!). I will say as a caveat, I am probably slightly different due to being neurodivergent so it helps me as a prewarning! However, I have found for all my ACs - I have asked whether it would be...- NW Law
