2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
Yeah, I always went by the rule of 'if I included this would a client with no legal knowledge understand what it means?' If the answer's no then I would use a simpler term. In this case, I'd use unlawful for that reason :)- Daniel Boden

TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)
Are you competing in the competition or just watching? Is it something you've been training for a few months? If so, I'd contact the firm and explain the situation and ask their advice. People miss a day of a scheme for various reasons fairly frequently (it's happened on both the schemes I've...- Daniel Boden

2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
Agree with this^ Tbh the best approach you can have with a memo is to always think about presenting and explaining your points in as clear a manner as possible. Definitely use bullet points and headings to make it easy to read as, if you think what a memo is for, it's for a client/supervisor to...- Daniel Boden

Did you see the Quins vs Bath game at the weekend?! About as entertaining a game I've seen for a very long time - not a lot of defence going on though 😂- Daniel Boden

I imagine this is why professional dog walkers are so sought after in the city! Obviously though, at the beginning of our careers, the more cost-effective solutions the better I imagine so also very interested to hear how people make/have made it work :)- Daniel Boden

2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
As others have said, I'd highly recommend you take a step back from some responsibilities if you can to give your mind and body a break as it will only hinder your progress as a candidate - you're doing great already so definitely no need to do anymore! Hope you're able to get some rest this...- Daniel Boden

PGDL at BPP is awful
Yeah that makes complete sense especially re the exams and the software - you guys have my full sympathies! Were there similar problems on the LPC do you know?- Daniel Boden

PGDL at BPP is awful
Tbf to @Max Power I'm sure they meant 2.1 and above instead of everyone 'only' having a 2.1 and they did mention how "incredibly difficult" and "challenging" they found the course so I'm sure they'd agree with you there on those points. Genuine question, is it the lack of a physical textbook...- Daniel Boden

Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*
If they're applicable and make sense in the context of the case study then definitely mention them but be prepared to be grilled on your understanding of them in the follow-up interview. Many interviewers would question you about your understanding of those clauses such as 'earnout', 'drag-along...- Daniel Boden

Whats up with the lack of Guys and POC in AC's?
Yes, I'm completely with you - it certainly isn't a competition as to which group has it worst! As you say, more has to be done in a number of areas to level the playing field for ALL people rather than just certain underrepresented groups- Daniel Boden
