[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 152736, member: 30937"] Hey [USER=30092]@HMB[/USER], I applied to the firm last year and some tips I would share is: [LIST] [*]The firm really values a strong academic performance so make sure you do have that to maximise your chances (both in high school/A-Levels and university) [*]For the cover letter, use the why law, why the firm and why me structure. Mine was 700 words and I also talked to other people who applied to the firm last year too and they all wrote 700 words more or less. [*]Make sure to highlight the strengths of the firm like the general practice which is unique to them and their excellence in corporate M&A, their most important transactions, and always make sure you link these back to why you are interested in them. [*]Reach out to future trainees on LinkedIn as they will be able to tell you what made them successful in the process. Talking to future trainees was essential to make sure I understood how to write the cover letter in an effective and efficient manner. [/LIST] Good luck with the application! [/QUOTE]
