You could mention their smaller trainee intake and their strong mid-market M&A work.For the Jones Day cover letter what are the key things to focus on? Obviously the non-rotational TC structure ought to be mentioned somewhere but what else other than that? It is only 300 words so I am struggling to work out what to allocated my word count to! Any help would be so appreciated
Thank you!For fairness, I'm not sharing anything specific with anyone!
But I would honestly, honestly say - ALL of the interview questions that are listed as part of TCLA's questions bank were super worthwhile rehearsing! Go through each of them as many times as possible. And be yourself, and friendly

I am so so sorry Flora, you’re working so hard and you’ll get there <3Rejection for Freshfields' grad workshop
I just searched and their website says this:Does anyone know if you can apply to the freshfields vacation scheme as a third year law student.
Only penultimate year students are eligible. Final year students and graduates have to apply for a direct TC!Does anyone know if you can apply to the freshfields vacation scheme as a third year law student.
nah!Just wondering- should I be responding to an email inviting me to the assessment centre? It is just a generic email so I assume not and I have chosen the date on the portal so have confirmed my acceptance, but suddenly thought I should check if it is customary/ polite to email thanking them and saying I look forward to it?
No point I don’t think, grad rec are pretty busy and therefore it’s just another irrelevant email (no offence)! I think you can show your gratitude at the actual ACJust wondering- should I be responding to an email inviting me to the assessment centre?

I wouldn't (and haven't for one I have been invited for) because there is not much else they can say back to you.

Hey everyone, I just got a rejection from Ashurst for winter vac scheme post application, my rejection said "your application was of a high standard , but we have unfortunately only been able to shortlist a small percentage of applications for this vacancy" and I just wanted to know if this is their generic email? guess i'm just trying to figure out if my application was actually strong or they just say that to everyone

Any tips to handle this question for the Irwin Mitchell Vac Scheme?
"Our clients have lots of legal advisors to choose from. As a trainee solicitor you will speak with new clients on a day to day basis, therefore it is important to understand how Irwin Mitchell can support them.
After a busy day at the office, you begin your journey home on the train. The passenger next to you notices you are reading a legal journal and mentions that they are currently looking for a new firm of solicitors as they are not happy with their current firm. How would you promote Irwin Mitchell to the potential client?"
I understand it is generally to show why you think Irwin Mitchell is a great firm, and how you would sell that to someone else. But - it seems difficult that we do not know if this is a client looking for personal/business services, or what service they are looking for... any ideas?
