[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 217620, member: 42112"] Hi [USER=41277]@llblawstudent[/USER] ! Not an obvious question at all - lots of people wonder the same! You definitely can still succeed without having attended a Taylor Wessing event before submitting your application. Those sections are really just a chance to show engagement if you've already had some interaction, but they're not a requirement. For context, I did not attend any events at the firm I secured my TC at before attending their AC, so it is definitely not a requirement! If you're keen to apply early, I'd go ahead and submit rather than wait - strong answers about your motivation, skills, and understanding of the firm and its USPs will carry far more weight than whether you have ticked the events box. However, if you feel that your application would be stronger by drawing from insights that you gained at a virtual event or webinar later on, there is no harm in waiting until after the events to apply! Even with rolling deadlines, most firms will view every application submitted, and it's much better to submit a stronger application than submit early. In summary, not attending won't disadvantage you - the most important thing is whether you are confident you can write a strong application with the information you have on the firm currently :) [/QUOTE]
