    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    If you're ok with some slightly post-punk rock, I'm massively into Fontaines DC, Viagra Boys and Squid if you know them.

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    I can't say that I'm in your situation, but if you've already got your dream firm TC offer...why waste a week or two of your life at another firm for something that you know you won't accept? You'll get more than enough experience on the job as it is when you start, and I doubt the work you do...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Oh, in a way I feel like that's a bit less of a leap than I thought, as there's a lot of crossover nowadays. My brother's best friend trained at slaughters and qualified into something corporate-y (I forget what it was) and now does private client at a big firm in that space that he had no...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    That's absolutely nuts! Let me guess, is this area one that is highly sought after and seen as glamorous?

    That's what I was leaning towards to be honest!

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    What seats should I do for my vac scheme fellas? I'm quite interested in Dispute Resolution so I'd like to do that, but I have to put down two more choices as well. I'm not 100% clear on what the options are but I know they include Corporate, Real Estate and Employment. What would you do?

    Facebook Profile Conundrum

    Whenever I read the FT, there's this one American policy wonk who always gets quoted who has the exact same first name, last name and nickname as me. It's weirdly off putting - it's like I'm reading myself knowledgeably discussing the latest machinations of the Biden Administration!

    Yikes. But I feel ya. I finish my vacation scheme and my core LPC exams (the most important ones) begin just four days later. It's going to be a loooong summer.

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Yes! The McQuaig test is very straight forward. What I recommend is that you write down all the months of the year in order, and all of the letters of the alphabet and number them. It might also be worth writing down a list of the most common number patterns and how they appear.

    Thank you so much for letting me know. That sounds really tough but I'm sure you'll smash it! Well done for getting that far!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Couldn't find anything on Teacher Stern at all, but Legal Cheek puts Wedlake Bell's current PEP at about £372k, and this article (from 2018-19) puts Edwin Coe's at £300k, so it may have increased since then. I couldn't find much out about Memery Crystal, but in this announcement by Rosenblatt...

    Colin v Cuthbert: Copycat-erpillar?

    I've not studied much IP law but isn't goodwill towards a business also quite an important part of IP rights too? M&S could perhaps argue that Aldi's PR strategy is damaging the goodwill associated with Colin the Caterpillar.

    Colin v Cuthbert: Copycat-erpillar?

    I can't claim to know anything about the intricacies of IP law but what interests me most about this case is Aldi's PR strategy. It seems quite aggressive, given that it is taking light of a potential violation of another company's IP rights, which could lead to some fairly hefty financial...

    Interesting, thanks for your input. I'll have to put on Big Shaq and practise some quick maths then!

    What are the tests for Ashurst like? I'm trying to figure out whether it's worth investing time into doing their application form.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Yeah that's what I thought. I have until the 28th to do it, so hopefully that'll leave enough time (although the fact that it's the weekend is a bit unnerving) for them to get back to me! Thanks for your amazing advice as always. I genuinely believe I could not have made it through so many...

    Browne Jacobson tests! Pretty excited as I got through to the AC last time. It would be nice to see how far I can get!

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    So I've emailed, as you suggested. On the website it says that they don't recruit except through the Vacation Scheme so I'm not really expecting much of a positive response. But always worth a try, isn't it!
