That's.... bizarre. This is why I didn't hang out much with law students at uni - some of you guys turn out weird 😂 😂 😂 No but in all seriousness, imagine describing your firm as a cult and expecting that to be a selling point like wtf :oops: Edit: Obviously @OliviaBurn, you and the rest of...- Daniel Boden

@Celestie this one is for you :) but I'd really prepare for private equity-related questions as Sidley is big on that e.g. what is leveraged finance, why is leverage used in a transaction, what is carried interest, what is private equity etc. etc.- Daniel Boden

Put it this way, I wouldn't be too disheartened if they came back with a no... but obviously to caveat this, everyone has a different experience with a firm so obviously it's worth doing a vac scheme/open day if you can to make your own mind up about them!- Daniel Boden

Not rumoured haha they fired 25 lawyers in one fell swoop a few years ago (in 2018 I think it was). This RollonFriday article is pretty damming and there's a comment made by a Clearly associate (allegedly obviously) which makes it seem like he's/she's having a miserable life there :(...- Daniel Boden

Yep as soon as Cleary made all of their paralegals redundant a couple of years ago, I feared for every trainee at the firm and decided I was never ever applying there...- Daniel Boden

If I was to guess I'd say international arbitration given the nature of in-person hearings all over the world but obviously post-covid this could be very different...- Daniel Boden

Confused and scared
You absolutely can apply for vacation schemes in your last year as well as direct TCs so do not worry! If you don't get a TC after graduation then tbh you have the option to do what you like! Travel, paralegal work, get a part-time job whilst applying... you name it the world is kind of your...- Daniel Boden

Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*
Just to add my 2 cents to the above, for me I would highly recommend getting involved in societies and extracurricular activities. I'm a very keen sportsman and really tried to get involved with the law society and really enjoyed training/playing matches and working on the committee of the law...- Daniel Boden

Yeah I wouldn't worry about that, you can always correct yourself at interview if need be and since it's not a grammatical error there's no real point in my opinion- Daniel Boden

Totally understand if you'd rather not share, but how on earth was that allowed happen...?!?!? Edit: just seen your later post, like did they literally question the validity of your disability?

That's probably how they'd attempt to justify it but there are soooo many other ways of testing that - it's just unnecessary and paints your firm in a terrible light in my view- Daniel Boden

Yes, as a general point, don't worry about repeating your examples from your app in your video interview at all - it's not a problem but obviously, feel free to add more depth/greater detail if the time allows!- Daniel Boden
