What’s your current thinking on this?Reed Smith or CMS which tc offer would you go for?
You don’t really need to describe your experiences in these type of questions. You can reference them, but you rarely need to describe what you did, especially if the details are included in your work experience section. Try to ensure your answer to such questions is more forward looking rather than relying on past experiences.Hi guys,
I would like to have your opinion on this matter.
I am answering the infamous question why this firm? Among my reasons, I mentioned that the seats offered attract me as they mirror my academic and professional career and proceeded to describe my experiences. Given I spoke about my work in other questions, should I focus more on the seats offered and the kind of deals/cases that the firm has done?
I hope I making sense.
If you want to mention seats (this is something I did in my applications), then I would recommend doing in a manner that allows the reader to instantly 1) understand why you like those seats 2) known why you liking those seats is linked to your application.Hi guys,

You don’t necessarily need to list deals with though. There are other reasons you could want to apply to the firm - cultural reasons, opportunities you would receive, how the firm would train you (not just the seats but the practical ways they train trainees). If there are types of deals that you can link clearly back to your motivations or you, then it’s fine to include them. But generally they can feel quite dropped in and often don’t add anything to the answer.
@Jessica Booker and @AvniD thank you for your replies.If you want to mention seats (this is something I did in my applications), then I would recommend doing in a manner that allows the reader to instantly 1) understand why you like those seats 2) known why you liking those seats is linked to your application.
So, if you say that you like XYZ seat then ➡️ explain how you know you like this seat (something you read, some work experience etc.)➡️ demonstrate why you like it (what do you like about the seat AND why does it attract you- maybe it links to something you studied, an interest of yours etc.)➡️ round it off with why the fact that you can do this seat at this firm in particular stands out to you (maybe the way the department is organised attracts youth it, a deal they've done, a ranking they hold etc.)
Does this make sense?
The gist of this sounds good- don't forget to link it back to why the seat at this firm in particular stands out to you!@Jessica Booker and @AvniD thank you for your replies.
I wrote about my interests in the IP and International arbitration seats. During my undergrad I completed copyright research and furthered my interest during the LPC by undertaking the Commercial and IP module, I also took part in a commercial arbitration hearing before the LCIA. So, I am excited by the perspective of expanding on my knowledge and experiences during my tc seats.
Yes, I like the fact that the IP firm works on the full range of IP matters and it is very multidisciplinary whereas the arbitration team is not just investment but also very commercial focused.The gist of this sounds good- don't forget to link it back to why the seat at this firm in particular stands out to you!

Wouldn’t be surprising - the applicant tracking systems are notorious for not being able to deal with peaks of applications being made across multiple firms on 31 July and 31 January.is apply4law down?
