    Irwin Mitchell Vacation Scheme & Training Contract Application 2024

    I don't think there are any long-form questions to answer based on what I've read on their website - https://graduaterecruitment.irwinmitchell.com/recruitment-process.

    Private Equity Law

    I had a quick look at this article here and this sentence stood out to me - Private Equity Analysts are hired directly out of undergrad without previous full-time experience.They work on the same types of tasks as Associates: deal sourcing, reviewing potential investments, monitoring portfolio...

    Osborne Clarke

    I would focus your response on why you have chosen to apply to Osborne Clarke as simply talking about your motivations for a career in commercial law would not satisfy the point of the question!

    How to improve my commercial awareness and an additional commercial law question..

    Hi @goatenthusiast12! My best tip for increasing commercial awareness is to start listening to podcasts and reading publications that are geared towards those working in law/aspiring to work in law. This thread here and post here have a great list of resources like Watson's Daily, the TCLA...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Hi @FutureLawyer99, I haven't heard of a 'research-based' case study before 🧐 I'm guessing they'll need you to look up certain information or find information from a given set of materials. The goal should then be to draft or present your findings in a structured manner and justify how they are...

    Ashour's Journey to a TC

    @Mohamed Ashour happy new year! How was your holiday break? You mentioned having exams so I'm guessing it was pretty prep-heavy! How are you feeling about your applications during exam season? Is there anything I can support you with?

    DLA Piper commercial awareness question

    Hi @goatenthusiast12, I'd email the firm to clarify what they mean by predicted grades- is this something you can input based on your own assessment or do you need something more formal from your university/professors?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Kudos on being brave enough to attempt to make an application despite being new to the process! 👏 You don't have to link it back to the firm but you definitely could. What I mean by this is that an answer that talks the reader through when you had to raise your game or display entrepreneurial...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling with this. To start with, I have to stress that writing applications and succeeding at law firm assessments more generally is a skill and the information and support one needs to develop this skill is not always accessible. Historically, this was...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Congratulations! Just goes to show how sometimes what we perceive as a bad performance is actually stellar for someone else! I'm sure this must feel like such a reaffirmation of your skills and abilities 😊 I've never done a CMS AC but have resources that I can link that are geared towards AC...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Not generic at all! Personalising it by bringing in your values and why they matter to you is a great way to show a firm that you've not only researched them but also identify with their ethos.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I think somewhere in the middle maybe best- picking 2 to 3 points and fleshing them out may be better than stating 5 without backing them up with your rationale. The video interview is a chance for the firm to see how you present your ideas and thoughts in short timeframes so making sure that...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    The first thing I'd recommend would be to pick a deal where you're already interested in one side more than the other, which it seems like you've done. I think you've taken the right approach but you need to flesh out why you're interested in picking this side more. What is about the licensing...

    Mental Health- TC/VS applications

    My information may be slightly outdated but I believe recruitment agencies like EJ Legal and Stephen James are fairly active on LinkedIn. There are many more like them and doing a simple search on them will reveal many related agencies as well. If you turn on the button on your profile that...

    Watson glaser test acceptance

    Hey, I'm sorry to hear that your application wasn't progressed. One really can't say which factors were involved in the firm coming to this decision because there really are so many that are entirely out of your control- the volume of applications, how others performed in their tests, how other...

    Managing anxiety in the wait after vac schemes

    Hi @forumusername, I completely resonate with feeling anxious in the lead up to learning an outcome to your application. I would highly suggest doing non-law /non-application related things to keep your mind at ease. Delve into an existing hobby or a try a new one- I started painting a lot and...
