Hey everyone,

Our forum is a big priority for us this year, which is why we're frequently on the lookout for experienced future trainees to join the forum team.

With that in mind, I'm delighted to introduce @Neville Birdi. You can expect to see him around the forum answering your questions and contributing to the commercial discussions - he has a lot of experience, but I'll leave it to him to tell you more about himself. I know you'll all make him feel welcome .

Best!

Jaysen

Thanks, Jaysen!

Having been an avid user of TCLA over the past two years, it is a true pleasure to be joining TCLA's forum team!

By way of background, I am a final-year Philosophy student at the University of Warwick, and a future trainee at Allen & Overy. I have also had vacation schemes at Bird & Bird, CMS (offer), Herbert Smith Freehills, and Weil, Gotshal & Manges (offer).

If you have any questions for me, please feel free to ask them. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you all around the forum, answering your questions, and contributing to discussions!

All the best,

Neville

[Lastseasonwonder]

If lawyers were called upon to advise investors on navigating (future) regulatory changes surrounding crypto (more BTC), what departments in a law firm will be involved? (Regulatory) TMT and Fintech right?

Did you take it on a computer or smartphone? Do you know if there is any major difference? Thanks!

I did it on a laptop, I didn't realise you could do it on a smartphone! A lot of it involved how fast you could click your mouse etc so I'm not sure how it'd work on a smartphone, but I'd go with what you feel more comfortable with.

Kennedys rejection what the hell.

What did the email say? Was it the verbal reasoning questions or ST questions?

We have undertaken a rigorous selection process based on set criteria, and whilst you did well, the standard was extremely high and it is with regret we are unable to take your application any further.
