I received a tc offer a few days ago verbally over the phone from CMS but haven’t received any follow up email with a contract/offer? Should I be worried/is this normal guys? Also interested to know what occurs during the process of the verbal offer and receiving the formal documents. Not sure what to do!

This is very normal. If you haven’t heard anything by the end of next week, I would drop them an email or give them a call and ask the approximate timeframes as to when you may receive the offer letter.

Why have you decided to pursue a career as a commercial lawyer working in an international law firm? What factors and influences have affected your decision?

Why specifically are you interested in training at Orrick? What makes us different to the other firms you have applied for?

Apart from these questions, there's a separate section for writing a cover letter. What's the difference between the above-mentioned questions and a cover letter? Ain't the answers to these questions form a part of cover letter?🤔 Then why a separate question?

A cover letter doesn’t have to cover why law/why the firm in these instances.

You can just focus your cover letter on why you.
