    Ask a future MC Trainee (international applicant) anything

    I didn’t apply to all MC firms, so I cannot speak for all of them, but I know that Clifford Chance and Linklaters have ethnic and gender targets and if you read about their mission statements on their respective websites, you should be able to find plenty on it. I also didn’t apply to the Us...

    there are a few people that have posted on the Linklaters thread that they received rejections for direct TCs last week, so it appears they are reviewing them at the moment :)

    Ask a future MC Trainee (international applicant) anything

    Just to second what Jessica said, we have also been told to do our LPC right before the TC as we should be doing it together with the everyone we will start our TC with. Maybe they will review it on a case-by-case basis? I will keep my fingers crossed. I work in a bank doing compliance, which is...

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    I just checked my portal and it is in progress, but hasn't been updated since January, so I wouldn't necessarily place too much weight on what the portal says.

    Hi Camille, Thank you so much. The German grading system for the Abitur is from 15-1, with 1 being the lowest and 15 the highest. We also don't chose 3 subjects per se, we have majors, but I had to do 11 subjects until I graduated. So I explained how we had to choose your majors (there is the...

    Hi Bianca, Thank you so much, I still can't quite believe it. In terms of my academic background I did the text box never allowed for enough words for me to explain the grading system in a way that made sense. I spoke to graduate recruitment about it and was told to e-mail it separately, so I...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    our group exercise was done via video platform. We all had the room open so we could talk to each other when things needed to be discussed and other than that turned our cameras off and did our research. It honestly wasn’t much different to doing it in person. The actual presenting bit was a bit...

    Hey, I used the Commercial Law Handbook by Jake Schogger. If you read and understand that you’ll have all the foundations to make it through the case study. I supplemented it with All you need to know about the City by Christopher Stoakes. Other than that just general commercial awareness prep...

    Ask a future MC Trainee (international applicant) anything

    Hi Sonal, I don't think there is anything extra that needs to be done per se, but I found it helpful to use being an international applicant as a strength. For me personally it taught me a lot of skills, speaking multiple languages, having relocated to different countries, adjusting and having...

    Hi everyone, I hope you're having a lovely weekend. I received so many kind messages after my post a few days ago that I had received a TC offer from my dream firm. I honestly never thought I would be able to say this out load. Just to give you a bit of a background, I'm an international...

    GDL Schedule

    @FutureCity Usually you have a lecture and a workshop for each module most weeks. Sometimes you may have a week with only 3 modules, sometimes all four. That’s pretty much it. Lecture and workshop will always be in the same week. So if you have a public law lecture in week 1, your public law...

    I joined the forum to ask some questions about the next cycle or some last minute apps, but have just been offered a TC with my dream MC firm. I feel like I’m in shock and it hasn’t quite registered yet. Just for context, I’m an international applicant from a low socio-economic background. This...
