    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Thank you very much @Jessica Booker for your reply and for sharing the resource. I think gaining some early familiarity with the exam will allay my apprehension a bit. I think I'm going to back myself to clear the exam and spend some quality time preparing in the 6 months I have - as I...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Thanks for the response @Jessica Booker Yes, my contract does state that I have to pass the first time. On the other factors you mentioned, I will not be working full time when I study ( I might not even be working part time for most of it). I would have around 6 months completely dedicated...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Hi, I recently saw that the pass rates for the SQE were just 53% and an even lower 44% for minority candidates. I'm not from the UK and am due to start a training contract with a UK firm in 2023 - and I have to mandatorily pass the SQE 1 before joining. I wanted to know how tough the SQE...

    Hi @Jessica Booker, I am an international student and I wanted to know if magic circle firms like Linklaters and A&O sponsor visas for international trainees. I've been looking at the visa process and it seems exorbitantly expensive otherwise! :( Thanks!

    Thank you Jessica! I'll just stick to adding the CV since that is the only mandatory document. Further, they've provided us an optional space to upload a cover letter. Should I upload one - and if yes, what should I include in the same? They have already asked us to answer a question which...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hello Jessica! I'm currently applying for a vacation scheme at Allen and Overy. I had a few questions about the application form which I'd be grateful if could be clarified. 1. The form requires me to upload a CV and some 'other documents - would a 2 page long CV be ideal? Further, what other...

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Hello! This was really helpful! The website says that the assessment can be completed in 60-90 minutes but does not mention whether that is a time limit. So I wanted to know if there is a time limit on the assessment, or if there is no time limit but the time will be taken into account like it...
