[QUOTE="LegallyBrown, post: 149394, member: 29628"] Dear Reader, After a long-needed break, I am back and currently editing an application as we speak. Apologies if I left sounding defeated, it was probably a premature reflection to what I would call a successful cycle. Of course, not successful in the sense that I got a training contract, but rather, I finally got the confirmation that I was good enough to be considered. Gone are the days left wondering whether these firms are actually reading my applications, and welcome the days where I am again, writing 10 words a minute, trying to figure out why this news article interested me. After much deliberation, I have selected the firms I will be applying to for this cycle. These include, in no particular order: 1. Ashurst 2. Herbert Smith Freehills 3. Linklaters 4. Travers Smith 5. Jones Day* 6. Covington & Burling* 7. Allen & Overy 8. Clifford Chance 9. Slaughter & May 10. Baker Mckenzie* 11. Skadden* 12. DLA Piper 13. Shearman & Sterling* 14. Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer 15. Sidley Austin* I am not sure if this seems like a lot, or whether it is too less, I am still trying to find the balance between spreading myself too thin and too thick. However, rest assured, I have prioritised the firms according to which ones appeal to me most. Of course, like anybody trying to be the next Forbes Under 30 leader, you will notice I have included firms that seem well out of my reach (*). However, these are subject to change and will not be taking any priority over my time. Although their branding may imply otherwise, I don't think I am the type of candidate they are looking for (cough cough A-Levels, cough cough university). So if I send an application to them, rest easy knowing it was because I had the time. Wishing you all a lovely cycle! Regards, LegallyBrown [/QUOTE]
