Currently doing my Travers Smith cover letter. Is 900 words too much or is it ok? I’m trying to cut it down but I feel like I’m removing important things.
I’d try to cut it by about 50-75 words if you can but it’s not completely necessary to do so if your writing is structured and concise:m.

Remember to not repeat info in other sections (like your work experience descriptions). This post may also help with conciseness - https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....r-applications-within-their-word-limits.3701/

I was wondering if anyone had any good resources for gaining a deeper understanding of how deals are structured/capital is raised/how a law firm may assist etc. before I have a case study interview? Really something I feel I want to brush up on!

Know a few have recommended TCLA's M&A course - would anyone have any other suggestions/everything that would be useful to at least have a foundational knowledge of before interview? It would be very appreciated!

Hi guys, does anyone have any suggestions for resources to prepare for a blended assessment(situational judgement, verbal and numerical reasoning)? @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre. I will also take a list of firms with this as part of their assessment as they might have practice tests on their websites. Many thanks in advance!!

Hopefully the benchmark won’t be too high
