    On the really old Macfarlanes interview someone posted how they answered the question, but you have to find it manually as its not listed in the premium database

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    So an example of why you might be attracted to the firm is they have a best friends network, and you find the collaborative approach enjoyable. While the work placement may have a small intake and compulsory corporate seat, and you are interested in getting the hands-on experience of a small...

    @Jessica Booker I've got the Macfarlanes written exercise in a few days, which often includes a letter. In all the examples I have looked at people seem to never use any headings/sub-headings when writing these letters, even though they address multiple different legal issues. Is that normal...

    How to make successful applications?

    Any statements you make become much more convincing when you have attached experiences. i.e. having worked at X I realised I thrived in a collaborative environment. Just saying I like it because I find it interesting wont get you far. Try to build up your experiences, even if it isn't at...

    Doesn't mean its over, but you really shouldn't be doing that in future. You are trying to demonstrate a real genuine interest in the firm, and you have the opportunity to ask direct questions and say no. Prepare a few predetermined questions next time.

    Macfarlanes AC - typed or handwritten?

    Is the written assessment typed or handwritten? if you don't know, what is the normal standard at most firms? I get really bad hand cramps when I write, that means I struggle with time-assessed things, so I'd just like to know in advance.

    They wont be impressed or upset, they will just matter of fact review it and give you an outcome earlier.

    Oh, I know you can only apply for a single scheme, so I was worried I might be excluded if I applied to both. I didn't think about that aspect of the merger and them not being able to update me.

    If anyone else can give insight that is also appreciated :) I applied to Shearman's summer scheme, which was non-rolling, and the removed it early. They don't mention the dates it was meant to be running on their website anymore, only the summer scheme. I've emailed grad recruitment and no...

    It is not reviewed, so whether you have received it yet or not has no bearing... unless you are concerned about applying fast as its rolling. HL notoriously take a while to send the WG despite it being "automatic"

    Completely bombed my White & Case VI. So discouraging. Its so difficult to prepare competency, motivational and commercial questions in just 2 days.

    I know the interview is CV blind as they say it on their website. So I'd imagine this also goes for the VI :)
