What's the general consensus on name-dropping? For example, if I spoke to a particular partner, who hosted a presentation evening, is it worth mentioning their name?

Appreciate these messages and will definitely be applying for the summer vacation scheme instead (though it does impact when I can start a potential TC)

I'm in literal tears. Made the brutal mistake of assuming Ashurst's deadline was 12pm tonight rather than midday. Spent four days on the application and really felt there was a strong chance of interview..

Do most commercial firms charge fixed fees or on an hourly rate for their services? Is there anyway to find out?

Should I talk about commercial law, in particular, when talking about why I want to train as a solicitor?

Hi guys, I'm a final year student just weighing up my options in terms of applications for vacation schemes/TCs. I'm wondering whether its better to apply directly for a TC or a vacation scheme (most likely a summer one at this point), given that I was unsuccessful last cycle. Thank you!
