[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 119445, member: 17155"] For TCs, having strong extra-curriculars, grades and work experience is important, but it often boils down to how convincingly you have expressed your motivations for a career in commercial law and at the firm in your application forms. Maybe this is something you could review? You could request an earlier start date for sure, but its depends on whether the firms has capacity. In my experience, I have seen early start date requests being fulfilled at firms with large trainee intakes (think 70+) as the larger group sizes possibly allow for more flexibility in moving people around. Not that these requests aren't fulfilled at firms with smaller intakes! It's just something you can keep in mind and ask a firm about when you network with them. There are some smaller, regional law firms that recruit trainees within a year, but it depends on whether these fit what you're looking for. [/QUOTE]
