[QUOTE="andrecsaa, post: 197864, member: 26634"] Thank you for your kind words! Actually, it’s quite the opposite. I’m more drawn to contentious work due to my background as a foreign-qualified lawyer (civil law country - which means PGDL + SQE + TC). I’m also open to transactional seats, particularly in banking and finance. Although I haven’t worked in these practices in my home country, I did study some regulatory and banking modules during my LLM. I’m not sure whether firms tend to prefer candidates who show more interest in transactional seats over litigation. The firms I’m targeting have been ranked highly in commercial litigation and corporate crime and investigations, with strong reputations for their work on recent leading litigation cases (e.g., Willkie, AG, Macfarlanes, Dentons, HL, Fieldfisher, NRF, WC). A member kindly took the time to look one of my applications and gave me some honest and valuable feedback. I will refine the remaining applications, and if things don’t work out this cycle, I will consider signing up for the review service, or post here. [/QUOTE]
