    Hi @IneedaTCASAP - I did say in the email you received that we had seven more times applications than spaces, so the vast majority did not receive a space. It was extremely competitive, and my decision was based on the quality of the answer re Why would you like to attend the open day.

    Ask Willkie Farr & Gallagher Anything!

    Yes, that is exactly right! It is my STRONG recommendation to only ever submit an application when it's ready. The last two stages of our process (written exercise and partner iv) are after the application deadline, for all candidates so we can't offer before then.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hi all If you don't mind me jumping on here, I'll answer as someone who uses the CRS as part of the application process. The CRS is there to assist those who've faced socio-economic adversity, not penalise those who haven't. Equally, absolutely everyone has the right to decline to answer...

    Undergraduate Results & Impact on Apps

    Hi @laurenn42 I hope you don't mind me jumping in here, but your undergraduate grades here are very strong, with a clear 2.1 in each year. We're all allowed to have blips here and there, especially with mitigating circs. You've got a couple of lower marks but the vast vast majority are good...

    hi @legally.brown it is very much up to you, but assuming you are including the firm in your employment/work history section, I don't understand why you would not mention it by name in other areas of the same form.

    Hi @09tata I'm afraid I can't answer that - you would need to verify that with your current employer.

    Hi @Sim96 Many thanks - I'm afraid you cannot apply for training contracts anywhere, as you are a fully qualified English & Welsh solicitor, therefore you cannot apply via the TC route. You cannot omit to mention it and retain your integrity - it is a key and relevant piece of information...

    Anxious international girlie applies for training contracts and vac schemes

    Hi @sapphireoreos I hope you're well - I just read your post and it sounds like you have a good solid plan. I just wanted to draw to your attention that we don't have a private client practice (as you've listed above) in our London office. I didn't want you to spend time on an application for...

    HI @fm14 I would look at your application as a whole, taking into account undergrad grads and the quality of the application generally, the research you have done etc. In terms of neurodivergency, this wouldn't negatively impact your application and we would make reasonable adjustments...

    Hi both In the final five days prior to, and including, the deadline, I received just over 500 applications, nearly all of which I've read thoroughly (I still have a few more to read through). As the sole person in the team, I simply cannot offer bespoke feedback to every person that applies...
