    Rolling the Credits: Credit Suisse Suffers a Double Whammy

    I thought that legislation such as Basel II and Basel III did address some of the issues fairly significantly? E.g. with the minimum amount of capital that banks now have to hold? Equally, hasn't there been a massive reduction in the size of bonuses that are available to bankers? I thought...

    Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*

    Completely agree - there's something about physically signing and acknowledging that you've sorted the next few years of your career that's really gratifying isn't there :)

    Mine was emailed over and then I had to sign it, scan it and email it back to them :)

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    I think that's pretty much spot on and was pretty much exactly what a Gibson Dunn partner said when he explained the rise of US firms at the firm's open day :)

    Totally agree! For 'deep focus' they're fantastic - the Inception and Dark Knight soundtracks are some of my goto playlists as are Einaudi and Yiruma :)

    The thing that springs to mind, in this case, is that some things are better left the way they are...

    Same here with law reading! Need bit of house music (even some EDM occasionally if I'm really struggling) to get me through some very dry leasehold covenants in Land for example :)

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Absolutely the right approach and tbh why on earth wouldn't you? Ultimately, you have to do absolutely what is right for you and what will benefit your career (sadly other people won't do it for you if you won't) so definitely look to make those connections and see where it takes you! Totally...

    I did see that - good to see their CV blind recruitment policy is working well! In all seriousness, I'd hate to work at the same firm as a parent because you'd always have those whispers amongst your cohort that you didn't get the role on merit regardless of how good you were and you'd probably...

    Colin v Cuthbert: Copycat-erpillar?

    That's the same one! Not sure why it hasn't been active since then but a few podcasts before that he does a deep dive into Apple vs Epic games and it's a really interesting listen

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Just to caveat these experiences with my own on an in-person vac scheme - we were all effectively 'forced' out the door at 6pm to go home haha so I do think the fact people are working from home and that blurring of the 2 lines has meant that people are working crazier hours than ever before...

    Colin v Cuthbert: Copycat-erpillar?

    Yes you're thinking of Epic Games (the people behind the very popular game Fortnite) in its antitrust dispute with Apple! A really interesting case on so many levels that is covered in a lot of detail on 'The Commercial Awareness Podcast' which I'd encourage you to give a listen if you haven't...

    On working in the US

    I'm not sure it would because I don't think a BA is usually a qualifying law degree whereas the LLB is? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's what my LLB mates have said in the past - @Jessica Booker could you confirm?

    European Super League

    I've always wondered this, why is it that we have Welsh teams in the EFL but no Scottish teams?

    European Super League

    I think it means that fans have 50% of the shares + 1 share i.e. the tiniest majority to give them the controlling stake and the necessary voting rights
