Help buying/choosing professional clothing (especially for women)
Totally agree! It's amazing how much better a tailored £100 suit can look than a £1000+ Armani suit that isn't tailored - if you're gonna spend money on suits, 100% much better to spend it on alterations rather than an expensive designer brand in my opinion- Daniel Boden

I'd imagine the fact that a significant number of people early in their careers were sadly made redundant because of Covid has played a big role!- Daniel Boden

In short, if you value your health and the ability to have a life see friends etc. it's not doable haha. The GDL is very full-on with a lot of prep required (I'm treating it like a 9-5 job during the week and even then sometimes I still have to work longer than that) so I would highly recommend...- Daniel Boden

Foundations of Commercial Law: Practice Areas, Firm Groups and Applications *Monday Article Series*
Regarding your first question, I've thought about this before but I think it's because as lawyers get more senior and work with a client for years, they build up a really good understanding of the client's business and what it's commercial objectives are. As a result, lawyers are often uniquely...- Daniel Boden

Alright @Jacob Miller we get it you're a future trainee at Travers and they're great blah blah blah ;) In all seriousness thanks for sharing, that's an interesting development!

Yeah just to add further evidence of this, my firm Gibson Dunn has an awful lot of lawyers who are ex-US DoJ which no doubt explains why it's so good for white-collar/investigations work- Daniel Boden

Not sure I totally agree with this tbh. Being a candidate who is trying to sell themselves is hard enough without having to think about the potential views/opinions/experiences of the individual reading your application/listening to your answers in an interview so I have no issue with OP's...- Daniel Boden

I would try not to worry too much mate! I've been asked a number of questions I didn't know the answer to and just had to concede that "I'm afraid I'm not sure on that one" and whilst it feels pretty rubbish at the time, it's much better admitting what you don't know rather than trying to...- Daniel Boden
