Any LLM student here.. would you recommend doing one?
My undergrad was very broad and had a lot of public law modules. My LLM specialized in Litigation and Dispute Resolution, which set me on the path to my current job as a DR paralegal. So it definitely went into more depth in the topics I enjoyed. If you're not bolstering your academics, it's...- TC fiend

Moving to Germany at some point during my career
Hey, I know people who have done secondments in German offices, and even a German partner at my firm who did her TC in London and then moved back to Germany with the firm. So definitely possible! Easier if you speak fluent German, but not necessary.- TC fiend

Any LLM student here.. would you recommend doing one?
I was in a fortunate position that I didn't have to rely on a student finance loan, so I can't advise you on that. I can give you the reasons I did my LLM: (1) I wanted to shift my focus to commercial law, and really specialize, (2) I wanted a renowned university on my CV, (3) I wanted the...- TC fiend

Clifford Chance vs Freshfields
Seems like a lot of your considerations have to do with the long-term goal of getting to the US (totally fair and relatable). I think a good thing to ask yourself is how will you feel if you can't do a US secondment. Not to mention, moving laterally to the States is at least another 3-4 years...- TC fiend

TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)
I can relate to not knowing whether the career is for you - I did my LLB (civil law), then went straight into my LLM (UK) and came out of it feeling really overwhelmed. I had only just learned about TCs / vac schemes and I wasn't in a place to focus my attention on it yet - I also didn't know...- TC fiend

2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
No clue. For applicants who have a law background / have done the GDL, I think it's fine cos they only have the LPC to do as well. And even if you still have to do the GDL, you can start it in January as well. Ultimately I have no idea but if they still have to send out VI invites, assess...- TC fiend

2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
Waiting as well! Applied the day before the deadline LOL. Fingers crossed for news soon. Their summer vac scheme just wrapped up last week so I imagine they're making TC offers to that group first and waiting to hear back before reaching out to direct TC applicants. They are indeed more...- TC fiend

@Jessica Booker I messed up on an application I just submitted - I wrote that I achieved 78% in a module, but now that I've checked my transcript I realized I achieved 76%. Do I email grad recruitment? Or is the difference so minimal it doesn't really matter?- TC fiend
