    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I can't see why they wouldn't - I'm not sure I've come across a firm that bans you from applying just because you've not quite cut it at the final stage. They can't take everyone from the AC, and it's not like they've seen you over the 2 weeks of a VS. They probably have an official policy but...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Aha. @Jaysen said that there might be a market for this when I did something for today's newsletter. It's a bit of a tangle but I hope the piece makes it a little clearer. It's fairly well-covered on the BBC website, also the FT and Bloomberg. I can send you a bunch of links in a DM if you are...

    Help buying/choosing professional clothing (especially for women)

    I agree - for women, the tailoring at Mango is great. And the sales are amazing for picking up really smart, understated, well-cut trousers, jackets etc at an absolute steal. As usual, the trick is to choose the simplest lines - cropped or full-length trousers in black or navy, single-breasted...

    Help buying/choosing professional clothing (especially for women)

    I beg to differ. In the sale and sample sales, there is no need to spend anything like that. Everything high end goes to 50% off pretty much straight away in the sales - except Manolo, which in the over £600 bracket tend to be more decorative than a law firm would like. And you can get Manolo...

    Sole Trader: Birkenstock Agrees to Sell its Business to LVMH-backed L Catterton

    As usual @Jacob Miller giving a great answer. I'd just add along the same lines: the client is coming to your expensive firm (you) for advice. They don't only want the donkeywork. They could pay an agency paralegal to do that. In the end, what they want is for their purchase/sale/exploration not...

    Help buying/choosing professional clothing (especially for women)

    I bet! Good for you for moving on from that toxic environment. And nobody but nobody needs to be spending £600 on a pair of shoes for work. It shows a complete lack of imagination.

    Help buying/choosing professional clothing (especially for women)

    This is so true. All of it. I got a couple of Banana Republic tops when they did a collaboration with Issa and they are still going strong. I'm not sure if they've pulled out of Britain now but they will be on eBay.

    Help buying/choosing professional clothing (especially for women)

    I am a career changer from a low-paid industry with limited wardrobe requirements (think Mickey Mouse T-shirts, Converse and many frumpy colleagues) but I have also worked in luxury brands. It's fantastic that you are thinking 'buy once buy well'. The general idea is to think of '30 wears' as...

    Sole Trader: Birkenstock Agrees to Sell its Business to LVMH-backed L Catterton

    Once it's featured in GQ you know you're hitting the sweet spot for men as well as women. Birkenstock has done some very canny collaborations recently and that's bound to have put them closer to the LVMH radar too. One of these articles also mentions the duty-free market - huge business...
