Hi guys,

Any updates from Travers Smith post-app?

Received an email this morning from Travers Smith stating they apologise for the long reply time and is due to a large volume of applications and that they will be back in touch in the next couple of weeks.

Hello! So I have a question. In an M&A case study, when using the firm's departmental approach, what will be the role of the corporate insurance and reinsurance department in the case study? Also, would the insurance team have anything to do with indemnities or would that be under the finance or corporate team?
Thank you in advance

Just saw my holding email from Travers Smith, too.

It reminded me of this line from John Cleese’s headmaster in Clockwise: "It's not the despair, Laura. I can stand the despair. It's the hope!"

Does anyone have experience with the second-stage interview for Gibson Dunn? I have a few questions that I would be really grateful for any help with.

 

[sakaesr99]

Hey @Jessica Booker, if a firm is holding 3 different vac schemes in April, June and July, each with 10 people, is it possible that I will be disadvantaged if I do the July one, i.e. if they've given out the vast majority of their TCs by that point? Or do firms typically assess everyone before handing out TCs?

I'm waiting for vacation scheme

 

[time2work]

Does anyone recommend applying to direct TCs even if they come from a non-law background and lack legal work experience ? For context, I am currently working full time and studying the SQE/PGDL part-time and have work experience but not particularly strong experience in the legal field. Any help appreciated
