Interview/Open Day/Vacation Scheme Updates- Coronavirus
A lot of firms fund the GDL and LPC retrospectively anyway but given this is entirely out of students' control I would expect a lot of firms to pay back any tuition regardless of what their policy is on retrospective fee paying- Daniel Boden

Private Equity
Yeah I finished the Bocconi course last week! Ah I see yeah I read that article too! So CVC has raised a normal closed-end fund and are using the money raised from that to purchase various stakes in companies that they think they can add value to and then sell for a profit later on (in this...- Daniel Boden

I also recently did a PE course on Coursera which was really good and would thoroughly recommend it! When you say purchasing and lending, do you mean the difference between a PE debt fund and a PE equity fund?- Daniel Boden

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
If you studied the IB Diploma in English as your first language then I'd put yourself down as 'native' because you clearly speak and understand it as well as fellow-Englishmen and women imo EDIT: if fluency was an option then I would put that but some forms don't give you a great deal of...- Daniel Boden

Interview/Open Day/Vacation Scheme Updates- Coronavirus
Gibson Dunn has reduced the summer vacation scheme to 2 weeks at the beginning of July. They plan to run the summer scheme virtually for the most part but will also investigate if it is possible to have some attendance at the office during the scheme.- Daniel Boden

Are my qualifications attractive enough for applications?
In a word absolutely! If you are able to explain in your application answers and then later in your interviews how these experiences will help/can help you in a career at a corporate law firm in the UK then you will be in a strong position :)- Daniel Boden

Nothing wrong with that approach and I've tended to follow suit tbh! I'd only put mitigating circumstances in there if there wasn't another space on the form if that makes sense- Daniel Boden

Ask Jaysen (TCLA's Founder) Anything!
The best advice I would give is for you to study something that you feel you will enjoy at university rather than what you think is best for your career. Law is such a diverse profession in terms of what degrees people have studied so you really lose nothing by choosing a subject you enjoy over...- Daniel Boden

That box is normally left for students to explain any mitigating circumstances and/or add any further ECs they have that can strengthen them as a candidate in my experience- Daniel Boden

Fluent is definitely above colloquial. Colloquial in this case means that you could get by if you went to a restaurant or shop but not much else- Daniel Boden

General Discussion Thread 2020-21
Just thought I'd share what my current situation is, being a final year non-law student at the University of Nottingham. This year I am doing 6 full year modules including a dissertation. What my course, and the Faculty of Arts at Nottingham, has decided to do is that any module that had...- Daniel Boden

Interview/Open Day/Vacation Scheme Updates- Coronavirus
They asked me about my preferences and I explained how I'd only like to do a virtual scheme as a last resort which she completely understood. She also discussed the possibility of moving the scheme to the Winter but they're waiting to make the decision as late as possible I think because it's...- Daniel Boden

Thanks for your message @S87. Akin Gump basically solely recruits from VS - they only hold TC interviews if it doesn't get the desired amount of trainees from the scheme. Weil and Kirkland have the same approach but Gibson Dunn only recruits from VS barring exceptional circumstances. Hope that...- Daniel Boden

Interview/Open Day/Vacation Scheme Updates- Coronavirus
Just had a nice catch-up call with the GradRec team at Gibson Dunn. The firm continues to really impress me in the way they approach their graduate recruitment. Anyway, long story short is that they aren't making any decisions yet but are going to do everything they can to ensure an 'in-person'...- Daniel Boden
