    training contract internatioanl students

    Thank you it's definetely great to know. I looked up some of the firms you mentioned and saw that they all have academic requirements that are quite similar to the magic circle ones. Given your experience, would you say that US firms, contrary to UK ones, have academic requirements as a...

    training contract internatioanl students

    Thanks that is an interesting insight!! I was kind of excluding american firms automatically as they appeared to me as less accessible that the UK ones but if you say so I will definetly reconsider! I am currently focused on Freshfields the most but I'll be open to more options. Do you think...

    training contract internatioanl students

    Thank you, that is relieving to hear! I have already looked up their trainees on linkedin to see their background and although many of them are international students, they all somehow studied (often master degrees) in prestigious Uk universities. Do you know by any chance where I can find more...

    training contract internatioanl students

    hello everyone! I would like to ask an honest question, do you think firms like Freshfields and Clifford Chance actuallly consider applications from international students who have not studied in the UK? If so, is anyone in contact with an international student (that has not studied in the...

    magic circle cases and deals

    Oh okay I thought so too! I wanted to see more cases mainly to learn how to distinguish between different firms' approaches to corporate law. I want to understand which firm's methods I most align with but I'm not sure how to do that... Do you have any advice? Thank you for answering my questions!

    magic circle cases and deals

    Hello! I was wondering if anyone knows any good websites that reliably list all recent and important cases that magic circle firms/london firms in general, have closed. I know the firms' websites already provide for a few ones but I'd like to see a more organised and detailed list, possibily...

    Creating my 'story' in applications

    This may be a useless advice but I'll tell you how I usually do these things. I make sure I'm in a good mood, sit at my desk or wherever and let everything out, kind of like a stream of consciousness. While writing things down I start to see connections between my experiences and the story...

    a lost student and her future uncertain career

    Thank you for your suggestions, I think looking for a firm in Italy that has offices in the UK too is probably a very good idea, I'll look into that. A postgraduate degree in the UK on the other hand I'm not sure if it can work, I'm trying to avoid loans and I'd definetely need one to study in...

    a lost student and her future uncertain career

    The problem is that I'm already a second year student and haven't applied for any yet... I'm not sure I'll be able to apply for next summer but there's a variety of problems I'm facing when it comes to applications. First of all, the majority of firms specifically state that the students...
