    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    can anyone point me to the website where you can search for all the deals a firm has been involved in? I can't remember what it's called (it's not any of the legal news websites) - I think it might start with 'I' and be an abbreviation of something :/

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    it really depends on the firm - some US firms offer mid-£30k salaries for inexperienced paralegals but non-US firms will mostly offer less.

    No, you can use powerpoint slides via zoom sharing and send HR a handout as well in case partners want to print the slides off.

    I was invited to do a VI almost 2 months after applying for a direct TC app in the summer.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I don't know about the VS but for my TC offer, they emailed me to invite me to a zoom call with a member of GR and a partner later on the same day (i.e. one of the longest few hours of my life haha).

    GDL Grade - Desperate Call For Help!

    I wouldn't worry too much about getting a pass in these modules - I only passed the GDL (getting marks in the 50s for Contract and Equity) but still managed to get a TC in one of the top US firms. What I did after getting my GDL results was to really try to do better in the LPC, where I gained a...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Hi everyone! I just wanted to share some positive news. I’m happy to say that I have accepted a TC offer from Latham after 37 applications and 14 assessment centres over the course of 4 cycles! I think the thing that changed the most for me this year was my approach to interviews - previously I...

    Does anyone know what Latham's partner remuneration is like? It's an LLP so I'm assuming it might be a global partnership, but I can't find any information to corroborate this online.

    Commercial Awareness Discussion Thread

    Does anyone have any thoughts on where law firms like Latham should consider opening an office, taking into account Covid and Brexit, and Latham's strategy for being quite aggressive in times of uncertainty?

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I heard that two members of the grad recruitment team left recently and haven't been replaced so this might explain the delay. Also, they only finished their 'spring' vac scheme mid-August.

    Has anyone got any tips for the Latham & Watkins video interview specifically (i.e. what kinds of questions did you get)? Thanks! :)

    How hard is it to pass the LPC?

    Compared to the GDL, I found the LPC a lot easier as it's less theoretical and more practical so to score well you just need to focus on applying the law to the facts in front of you. I found legacy notes pretty helpful as you can just build on these and update them as you go along. I went to...

    For the A&O 2022 TC app, does anyone have any idea if this app was only opened this year to fill in spaces for people who dropped out of that cycle? If so, how many spaces are actually still available for 2022?

    I didn't have this problem as I didn't exceed this number, but maybe send an email to HR? I share your hate for the portal haha...I ended up filling in the form 3 times because it didn't save any of my entries even though I had pressed save to return to the form later.

    Has anyone heard back from Covington post-app? It's been a while since their deadline, so I'm wondering whether they're just focussing on vac schemers this year.
