Clyde and Co and Reed Smith.Does anyone know any law firms that do no ask for application questions or just one like Linklaters or DLA?
It’s actually pretty common.Daily reminder to triple check your apps before you send them off. Just sent one with my name spelt wrong... thank god for apply4law's system that lets you change your personal details even after sending.
I would try to think of the similarities in their roles and the broader purpose of a commercial lawyer, rather than think about the processes they are responsible for or the subjects they are experts in.Ashurst asks 'Please summarise for us what a commercial lawyer does' (250w) - this seems quite broad, as contentious/advisory/transactional work are all substantively different. Any tips on how to approach this?
I was told by grad recruiter that using STAR is a good idea so a bullet point for S then etc.Hi! For Clifford Chance's work experience section, does anyone know if you should put in (briefly) what you've learnt from the experience. Or is it just best to stick to the facts? The application didn't specify.
@Jessica Booker what are your thoughts?

I know you're not asking me but fyi my WGT was sent on October 14th and I heard back December 2nd! Best of luck to you.Congrats! How long did it take you to hear back?
Hey everyone! Can someone explain the CC process a bit more to me because I’m a bit confused? I applied for IGNITE 2023 in August and did Watson Glaser, got 95 percentile and was told I was successful after Watson Glaser and that my application is now under review. But other people are saying they are receiving emails saying “your profile is of interest” and other communication from Grad Rec to that effect. Should I be concerned that I didn’t receive this email or anything since the application under review email?
Hiya, I think the people who received emails like "your profile is of interest" and other communications are those who applied to the 2023 direct TC - not IGNITE. So, for 2023 TC, CC reviews the apps first and then sends WG if successful. If you've applied to 2024 TC or any other TC/scheme (like IGNITE or SPARK) then I'm guessing it's their standard procedure, which is to do WG first and if you pass, then your app is reviewed. Very confusing this year !! but congratulations on passing WG and all the best of luck with your appHey everyone! Can someone explain the CC process a bit more to me because I’m a bit confused?

Unfortunately I would just leave it - it’s difficult for GR to add such information to your application without it causing too much work for them (if they did it for you, they would have to do it for everyone else).Hi, If since applying to Addleshaw Goddard I have started some work experience should I ring grad. recruitment to ask if it can be added to my form or just accept that as i have submitted my application it is too late to make changes. Also do AG just want you to include paid work experience? Thanks very much
Apart from bringing in key responsibilities, skills and attributes of commercial lawyers more generally, I'd also emphasise what makes commercial lawyers distinct from other city professionals- what client needs are commercial lawyers fulfilling?Ashurst asks 'Please summarise for us what a commercial lawyer does' (250w) - this seems quite broad, as contentious/advisory/transactional work are all substantively different.
