    Thank you Jessica, that would make sense as the Counsel at that law firm don't have barrister qualifications, only solicitor.

    @Jessica Booker Hi Jessica, I was wondering if you had the answer to this question... Why do offshore law firms have people as counsel working in their offices? I understand offshore law firms are different than onshore law firms but I just thought that counsel was separate to solicitors and...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    I have done a VI one month ago and haven't heard back although I have seen VS offers from other offices. I was wondering whether it was acceptable to ask GR about when we would receive updates? I don't want to sound pushy when I know they are very busy. Thoughts please?

    My opinion would be that it doesn't necessarily mean you will be written off. I think GR knows how stressful these can be and how technical errors or difficulty can happen and so provided that the rest of your answer and the following answers were good, they wouldn't necessarily reject you based...

    Peer to peer Assessment Centre Prep

    Hello, @James Carrabino kindly suggested that I should create a thread for this. To reiterate my idea, I was thinking about a peer to peer case study exercise whereby we would prepare a case study in advance and someone would play the interviewer and the other one the candidate and then switch...

    I did mine last week. For me it was mainly competency-based and your motivations for the firm. It was for the London office. Just really be clear on why you want to apply to AG and think about your experience and how this links to the firm! you'll do great, all the best :)

    @Jessica Booker Hello Jessica, I am applying to Addleshaw Goddard which has a lot less offices than other firms (13 offices).

    Anyone has any good advice on how to talk about commercial law events you've attended online in your applications? I feel like so many other people have attended these kind of events and I find it hard to use them in my apps to make me stand out from other people who've attended the same events.
