It will just mean that they have a range of practice areas meaning that they will be able to cover a wide range of client matters. The “full” piece seems to suggest that that they could do anything, but that is rarely actually the case (unless it’s just referring work to subcontracted firms).hey guys, would someone be able to explain what exactly a "full service" law firm is for me please?
amazing, thank you!!It will just mean that they have a range of practice areas meaning that they will be able to cover a wide range of client matters.

Hey, this article will explain it for youhey guys, would someone be able to explain what exactly a "full service" law firm is for me please?
Did the email specifically say you were waitlisted? I got one (which may have been a general one?) that they are not yet in a position to give me my final outcome, etcDoes anyone know if Taylor Wessing has sent PFO’s post-AC?
Thought mine went okay but I got waitlisted and I know they’ve been giving out offers just wanted to know if it’s something most people got

In re the first part of your question, it depends - I would definitely focus on something led by the office you're applying to but, if applicable, it's also great to mention how different offices from the firm interacted and worked together on a given deal.Hey guys, if asked about at an interview with a firm about a recent deal of theirs that interests you, should you only stick to a deal that involved that particular office (in this case the London office)? Also, is it a good approach to talk about a deal which interests you due to your interest in the wider area and its commercial implications (in this case the wider interest being the SPAC boom)?
i've been waiting 3 months since my telephone interview so they're totally swamped i reckonIs anyone still waiting for Mayer Brown to send the online test after submitting their TC app??
This is an opportunity for you to show another side to you as a candidate than what you'd display through answering 'typical' questions like "why do you want to train here?"What do law firms want to know from this application question - Travel (abroad and within the UK) - please indicate one or more interesting places you have visited, when and why?
Is it an application question for a vacation scheme application.
Do I just discuss my time in Dubai when I went there on holiday.
Thank you very much for this and that makes sense and woah interesting.This is an opportunity for you to show another side to you as a candidate than what you'd display through answering 'typical' questions like "why do you want to train here?"
In terms of the example you use, it doesn't really matter - they're not looking for how cool or unusual the trip was, they're testing your ability to justify a position and fully explain your reasoning. If you feel that your holiday to Dubai is something you'd want to talk about here, something you feel you could really take a position on and justify it, then go ahead. Think about it holistically, though - a place can be interesting for many different reasons. I've personally visited New York, Washington DC, Virginia, etc but the answer I'd give if it were me would probably be visiting the WW1 battlefields in France and Belgium when I was about 15/16. Phenomenally interesting place, changed me a lot as a person. As much as NYC was 'cooler' in the classic meaning of the word, it's not the most interesting place I've ever been.
It doesn’t have to be London based.Hey guys, if asked about at an interview with a firm about a recent deal of theirs that interests you, should you only stick to a deal that involved that particular office (in this case the London office)? Also, is it a good approach to talk about a deal which interests you due to your interest in the wider area and its commercial implications (in this case the wider interest being the SPAC boom)?
That’s a god awful question to ask 🤦🏻♀️What do law firms want to know from this application question - Travel (abroad and within the UK) - please indicate one or more interesting places you have visited, when and why?

That's very helpful thanksIn re the first part of your question, it depends - I would definitely focus on something led by the office you're applying to but, if applicable, it's also great to mention how different offices from the firm interacted and worked together on a given deal.
In re the second question, have a look over my interview article accessible via the link in my signature, explains three different approaches you can take to this question.
