[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 154384, member: 30937"] Hey [USER=3871]@JasmineM9[/USER], Thanks for the question. I have shared some insights into this in a previous post that I will leave here: [URL]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/tcla-direct-training-contract-applications-discussion-thread-2023-4.8038/post-153326[/URL] Additionally, you could mention more recent deals, especially if they help you substantiate your why the firm answer. What I would focus on is how you can link these new deals to you and your background specifically. It is important to mention cases or deals in a way that make sense and not for the sake of it. So, for instance, when I was applying, I mentioned a case that the firm was working on in Africa, and I explained that that was very interesting to me because I am originally from the Ivory Coast and I worked with African social enterprises in the past. I think that if you use these recent deals and find a connection to you, that will work well in your favour. Moreover, if you have done new experiences, internships or joined new organisations, I think it would be worth mentioning them in your new application as to differentiate yourself from your past application. You want to show how you have developed and progressed as a candidate and now, you are more ready than last year. I hope these are helpful and good luck with the application! [/QUOTE]
