Please be brutally honest, should I give up on becoming a solicitor at a MC/Top Uk law firm
I got a low 50 in equity & trusts, graduated from Exe a few years back and am 2 months off qualifying. Nobody has ever mentioned it but instead Partners/interviewers have commented that my grades are exceptional. Also, you don't necessarily need to put all of your module marks in your CV What I...- FM302989

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23
If it's 'Dear Graduate Recruitment', then it surely isn't 'Yours sincerely' as you can't be sincere to someone whose name you don't know. 'Yours faithfully' maybe? Are you sure there isn't a named contact you can find? Lawcareers.net? And it sounds like 4/5 words to add these so I'm sure you...- FM302989

Are my alevels going to hold me back?
Just be careful with some firms that stipulate an A-Level requirements, like AAA. They may use that as an instant filter for applications so you may not want to spend excessive time on those apps- FM302989

More context is needed for this one. Is it a minority shareholder, if so, then drag along rights? Perfectly entitled to not sell their shares if they're not getting fair value- FM302989

What has been your greatest success?
look at what the firm's 'key competencies are', and if not, consider generally for trainees. Find ANY achievement, team success, something where you get a job done and there's been obstacles. Examples can depend on what stage you're at (studying or in work). When I was studying I talked about...- FM302989

I'm returning to the TCLA forums for the first time since I received my TC offer back in April 2021 and started in September 2021. The less talked about step in the lawyer career path however, is life after the TC. Some folks will love their firms, seats, departments etc and will looking for...- FM302989

That's quite a cruel question to ask at an entry level? In the utmost simple terms and without knowing any context, with a share purchase, you're purchasing the company as a whole with all its assets and liabilities. This could potentially be costly depending on the company's valuation and...- FM302989
