    Law firms as a business

    This is an excellent find Josh, thanks for sharing! I've had questions in the past about what law firms can do to differentiate themselves and this is a perfect resource for that question.

    Clarification on a question

    Yeah, I think I'll have a go at focusing on just 2-3 areas, think it will make the answer read better. Thanks for all your help! :) No problem! Feel free to send us your application if you'd like a second look :).

    Clarification on a question

    I bet! One tip if I can suggest - you could also consider doing fewer areas (2-3) but having a couple of reasons why you like each. Four is fine but I can imagine it's a lot to cover.

    Clarification on a question

    Hey Rhyu, I would say both approaches work. The only exception to that is commercial, which I'd say is too broad and covers many areas of law. Firms often group their practice areas into broader categories for ease of reference but you don't need to follow that, unless they are also interesting...

    Commercial Awareness - April 2018

    Hey guys - just been chatting with Coralin and we came up with an idea that might be helpful. We're going to be collating and summarising her posts and putting together the main news stories of March and April 2018. We'll send out an email tomorrow so keep an eye out!

    Commercial Awareness - April 2018

    As Nick said it's an unexpected pairing but A&O has been investing in litigation for a while and the US legal market is very lucrative. They both have similar profits per equity partner and it'll give A&O a strong platform in the US. If this doesn't happen then I think we'll see one soon, A&O...

    Commercial Awareness - April 2018

    Wow what a fantastic article. That's a great find Nick, thank you for sharing. It's interesting because I don't see much of a way out of this for many UK firms. They lack the profitability of the elite New York firms, so even if they continued to modify their lockstep, they would still be...

    Becoming an effective networker

    Networking is very common on vacation schemes and I know it doesn't come naturally to most people (including me!). I thought it would be useful to share another post from @Jaysen on this: I watched a partner in my department network at a client’s drinks and he’s what I’d call an effective...

    Commercial Awareness - April 2018

    That's very interesting, thanks for sharing Campbell. If that goes through I imagine many of the magic circle will look to follow.

    Insight evening question help

    All good advice above. I would just add that it helps to be as clear as possible when you explain why you're applying. So if you want to learn more about the firm's culture, think about what that means to you - like MightyMoe said it could be to meet trainees and find out more about the training...

    Motivation

    Hehe let's just hope it's different when we start!

    Motivation

    Great post, so very true. I can say the same is true during the LPC, there's no use trying to compete with others (which seems to happen a fair bit!).
