    Hi @Jessica Booker I hope you are keeping well! I am currently answering a 'why us' question on an application. I want to focus on the firm's expertise in M&A. The firm won an award for M&A in 2016. This is the most recent award I can find under this area. The firm itself mentions this award on...

    To think that when I first completed the VI I thought that waiting 2 weeks would be the worst case scenario 😅

    Welcome to the TCLA Forum Version 2.0!

    I would certainly prefer most recent. It comes in handy when you want to check if others have recently heard back from a firm. However, I see the benefits for both so it depends what others think :)

    Welcome to the TCLA Forum Version 2.0!

    Hey! I really like the new look of the forum. However, when I type in a key word, the previous forum used to show the posts in chronological order, but this doesn’t seem to be the case with the new forum. Anything I can do to change this?

    Willkie Farr Video Interview

    I haven’t completed the VI yet. However, I don’t think it’s competency or strengths based ( I could be entirely wrong though ). The email says we’ll be questioned on ‘our motivations, understanding of law firms and commercial awareness’
