    Ask Willkie Farr & Gallagher Anything!

    Hi @WillkieGemma, Thank you for your reply. That's good to hear. A lot of firms have no A-Level requirements but still take the grades into consideration in the application process. I was just wondering if this is the same with Wilkie.

    Ask Willkie Farr & Gallagher Anything!

    Hi @WillkieGemma , I hope you are doing well, I've seen the Willkie website and it states that you look for good academics and a 2:1. I just wanted to know what the firm's a-level requirements were and how much weightage they would have on the application process. Thanks

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Hi, I am confused about how mentioning non-commercial law work experience in an application when applying to a commercial law firm can be useful. Would commercial law firms not think that this does not show a passion for commercial law but other areas instead? For example, if you have done...

I think this would be a good thing to start as I don't have much legal work experience and I am actually really interested in commercial law.
