Ban on pubs operating as Takeaways
Hi, Unfortunately your text doesn't automatically translate on this forum and I'm unfamiliar with Cyrillic script (apologies if it's not Cyrillic and I'm getting mixed up!). I've stuck this through google translate so it could well be wrong but hopefully you can get in touch with me from...- Jacob Miller

Travers smith - winter or summer vacation scheme
Hi Alice, Winter VSs v Sumer VSs aren't necessarily easier or harder, although I believe Travers' VS application deadline has now passed for this cycle. While some firms will make winter VSs, for example, for non-law students and grads only, I don't think Travers do this. In terms of direct...- Jacob Miller

As Daniel says, general principles of company law and tax transparency. In any event though, it seems like you're here looking for legal advice? If so, it's not the most appropriate forum- I would recommend approaching a qualified solicitor for actual legal advice. Just for the avoidance of...- Jacob Miller

Definitive Guide to Law Firm Case Studies! *Monday Article Series*
Hi Rachel, Glad you like the article! 1) it depends massively, so it's hard to give a precise response. Depending on your proficiency with these sorts of assessments, you will be able to pick out more or fewer points than another candidate. I would certainly focus on any specified points...- Jacob Miller

Sorry to hear this... getting rejections is really tough and you're definitely allowed to feel hurt and dismayed! I found I just had a bit of a 'click' moment with applications where things began to fall into place, maybe you're just waiting on that click :)- Jacob Miller

General Discussion Thread 2020-21
Just in regards your point of looking at the right angle, I would invest in a laptop stand. They can be bought very inexpensively off amazon etc and allow your laptop to sit higher so you're looking straight ahead rather than downwards (especially not a good look if your shirts are a little...- Jacob Miller

You'd need the actual set of regs/ Act that the SI you attached amended, should also be available from the legislation.gov site. The running costs wouldn't be high per se, I mean more in the respect of licensing costs and time to wait, as well as the associated costs of ensuring a company has...- Jacob Miller

Ban on pubs operating as Takeaways
I only had a very brief look over the attached SI, but, as it only inserts amendments to other regulations and doesn't contain any contextualised information per se, I didn't have time to do a proper deep dive on the matter hence the slightly speculative nature of my response. In re your...- Jacob Miller

Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*
Hi Amor, I totally agree with everything Dheepa has mentioned here. Going through a period of rejections can be really though, so I really commend you for being up front about this and asking for help in such a public space. While it's challenging to give specific advice for the reasons Dheepa...- Jacob Miller

Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*
Hi Nicole, I only have a fairly limited experience with JD, but, based on the research I have done on them, your assessment is pretty accurate. When approaching the issue of against whom they compete, I would personally acknowledge this and structure my answer appropriately by going through...- Jacob Miller

Ban on pubs operating as Takeaways
This is a very good question and, to some degree, my answer is speculation so don't take it as gospel. I would assume any regulatory change in this manner would be phrased in such a way as to cover "licensed hospitality venues" offering such services, using the classification as a hospitality...- Jacob Miller

General Discussion Thread 2020-21
Could be for any one of hundreds of reasons. Some people want to stay closer to home, some schools don't have any proper careers/ future guidance to help kids really understand what all the differences are, some for other reasons altogether. I'm at Aberdeen, for example, because I transferred...- Jacob Miller

2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
My understanding, from the (albeit limited) conversations I've had on the matter with recruiters that I know personally, is that one is not necessarily easier or harder than the other - that they're looking for broadly the same ability level etc irrespective. I know that some firms have an extra...- Jacob Miller
