[QUOTE="Naomi U, post: 46298, member: 4043"] Hi Everyone! My name is Naomi and I have just joined the TCLA as part of the forum team. This is truly a pleasure, as I know all too well just how daunting the application season can be. With this in mind, I look forward to assisting & supporting you all through the forum! For some background, I am a final year law student at the University of Warwick. I have always had a keen interest in both studying and practising the law, although my initial journey was not streamlined towards commercial law. Due to my varied interests, as well as truthfully, a lack of options, my first experience in a law firm was at a high-street firm specialising in Family Law and Immigration Law. During my first year of university, after being somewhat scarred by my first rejection from a commercial law firm, I opted to pursue yet another area of law, which resulted in a week-long placement at a firm specialising in Medical Negligence. Although I had fantastic experiences at both firms, I knew that I was looking for an area of law that was more fast-paced, business focused and international in nature. As such, I threw myself back into the corporate field in my second year, and although I faced my fair share of rejections, through the help of a number of amazing organisations such as TCLA, I was able to secure 5 interview invitations which led to 3 vacation scheme offers at Shearman & Sterling, Linklaters and Herbert Smith Freehills. I was fortunate enough to ultimately secure a training contract with Linklaters, following a fantastic vacation scheme experience in July. I look forward to joining the firm in March 2022! That’s all from me for now, but as mentioned by [USER=5063]@Jacob Miller[/USER] and [USER=1572]@Dheepa[/USER], please feel free to fire away with any questions you may have! [/QUOTE]
