If applying to a firm with CV and Cover letter and they have asked for A-levels where should I mention my mitigating circumstances? I don't include my A-levels on my CV anymore (it's been 9 years!) to keep it under 2 pages.
@Shiv Lawy I think you should still include this on your CV, if the firm has it listed in their requirements. As for MC's I think you can footnote it in that document to explain what this is. I appreciate that there is limited space on the CV, but there is nowhere else to include these grades and it's not something you would typically see in a cover letter.
Eversheds AC!! It’s my first AC so any advice is appreciated 
Hi congratulations!! Is this the london office?Eversheds AC!! It’s my first AC so any advice is appreciated
It doesn't help that Freshfields' feedback report for stage 2 gives you no indication whatsoever whether you are likely to progress! 💔 I hope they back to all of us soon 🤞
No. They put a post on social media yesterday saying they are still working through the applications, so I wouldn't worry yet.
Hey! i am not sure how to approach this question, would the TCLA team have any insights to this, please? Tell us how lawyers can add value for their clients beyond providing technical, legal expertise. Why is this especially important in today's market?
I initially thought of client care and innovation but i think i may be overthinking it
Thank you so much!

Chiming in as a business owner- trusted legal advisors who can reassure clients through economic and political turmoil is probably a good bet to write about- Business owners need certainty to make business decisions and lawyers are good at making recommendations as they see the same issues arise from multiple clients.
if this is for the PtP scheme, I had an email today saying theyve received my results and that they are processing it. I did the test around the 16th December if that helps
Do you know if they have interviewed candidates for this yet? i applied a while ago and received the same email and haven't heard anything
Has anyone done VI for Baker Mckenzie? Happy to swap for Slaughter & May, Weil, CMS, Goodwin, Latham, Freshields and A&O Shearman!
