Why this firm?
Thank you so much Jaysen for this. It actually makes so much sense. But it's just that if I say I am into corporate departments and write about what really attracts me to corporate law ...my answer would be similar to the question why do you want to practice corporate law? Is this true that...- Jai C.

Why this firm?
I have have been having some difficulty pinning down a concrete answer as to why am I attracted to a particular firm. How or rather why are candidates attracted to firms that open new offices? How does that make that firm an attractive place? And secondly, some people say they are attracted...- Jai C.

Cover letter conundrum
Firms like Slaughter May, Jones Day and White Case are amongst the few that an applicant is required to write a cover letter as part of their application. I am just confused - Do I need to introduce myself and say what stage I am at - (I just think all my information will be present in the...- Jai C.

AC at WEIGHTMANS
I am so grateful for both of your replies. This has given me a lot of clarity. Just a small point - Weightmans does not seem like a firm that will set a case study for the written exercise aspect. Are you both familiar with any other types of written exercises apart from case studies that I...- Jai C.

How much of it is about application technique?
I promise you - It is more about your application technique than anything - I would go even so far as saying a good application triumphs grades (except if you got numerous 2:2's) - I myself have been rejected for training contract applications despite a first class degree with work experience -...- Jai C.

Commercial Awareness - May 2018
Guys - just had a small query regarding commercial awareness - In your opinion - is it worth subscribing to the Economist - as it has a promotional offer of 12 pounds for 12 weeks and I can actually afford this ...rather the FT which is ridiculously expensive. Any opinions on this?- Jai C.

How to find the competitors of the law firms?
Thank you for replying. Latham Watkins is such a heavyweight - they will be having Band 1 rankings in numerous areas - and the law firms in each area where LW is ranked Band 1 will vary, thus, it will be having too many competitors? For example - in the screenshot you posted - Allen Overy and...- Jai C.

How to find the competitors of the law firms?
Hi Jaysen, This is my first time applying to the law firms - so I am actually quite new to all this process and it has been a rather daunting process as I see for every place there are approx 70-80 applicants. I was currently looking at DWF as their deadline is in June so it gives me time...- Jai C.
