    Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*

    Hey In cross border M&A, would it be correct to say that whilst the main acquisition documents might be goverened by England & Wales Law, the aspects relating to a business's operation in country X could be governed in that country's laws? Or would they all be under E+W? Thanks

    The only thing I can think of is that the team deal with the TC as well and around now is seat rotation time and they are busy with that??

    This is true - I believe there's like four-six people interviewed every week at each stage I guess you could say it is more personal? Prefer that to being one of 25-30 at an assessment day, even if it means waiting a little longer? That's my view anyway

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I'm really confused as well as it says explictly that they "will not enforce a formal dress code policy and this will be left to your discretion" - I was going to go with a smart shirt but not sure if this is too casual??

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I know this is a forum about applying to law Firms but my honest opinion is that if you don't get a TC this cycle you should take the FS offer. I know loads of people who have been unsuccessful in getting it so you have done super super well to get an offer! Alongside the work/life balance and...
