It’s so cruel like, they give you all this special treatment during the vac scheme and one call: never talk to us again. 😮 fuck the US firm that did this which I will not name but rhymes with Satan.
Hi! Do you happen to have any idea on how many people get to the assessment centre stage? Or, from there, what the chances are of getting an offer? Thanks!
Thank you for this useful insight.
Can we get an update on how you're doing?
Well done. You sound very switched on. Your parents must be so proud. Keep up the good work
really really appreciate this video. insights you dont get too often
It’s lovely that TH-cam recommended this for me. I just got my first rejection for a firm I had spent 8 weeks on an internship. I was so sure that I would get it. I got very invested . When I didn’t get it I cried for hours and now I’m trying to figure out what to do next . This video is meant for me.
Very nice video ❤
Underraaaated vid so far ! I'm actually preparing for interviews as a in-house lawyer and I'm watching so many vids, I can tell you right now that you're on the top of the cream ! Wooow you really are something. We can feel that you have a strong understanding of what you're sharing with us. Your communication skills are impressive also : tone, smile, rythme, illustrations, etc... CONGRATS for all your achievements! More are to come ! From Paris 🇨🇵😁🔥🔥🔥👍🏆
Getting emotionally attached to the form is such a similar feeling! Sometimes you don’t even realise that’s happening 😂
But what if I didn't ask to be redirected?
Loving this series Lorraine! Super helpful! <3
Thanks for your video,studied Data science and I’m actually in law school
I'm a big fan! Well done
can I send an email please?
First of all a huge congratulation🎊 🎊. Secondly, can you please share the link to the legal tech module that you did. Thank you in advance ☺️
😩 ᎮᏒᎧᎷᎧᏕᎷ
Well done Lorraine ! Sounds like you are doing very well 👏 👌 👍. Really happy for you 💗 ☺. Xx
This is very useful for law student. Thank you.
Thank you Jane!
Wow, congratulations so happy for you so far. Sounds like you really enjoying it. Cant wait to hear about the next phase of your journey 🥳
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and always being so supportive 🥰
Thank you Lorraine. Write it down. Ill be working with you at CC by 2025.
Is it possible if you Could you make a video of how to get into legal tech and the steps on how to get there e.g learning to code. Thank you!
I want to talk with you please provide me your Instagram or may be Whatsapp thanks
Hi dear, congratulations on your achievements. I would like more details on being a legal technologist. Do I have to learn coding and the likes? Cause I am more interested in the non-technical side of things as math isn’t my strong point as a lawyer. Pls what do you advice?
I can totally relate to your situation Lorraine. I graduated as a law student, went to law school, worked in a tech startup as a legal officer and I currently work in a tech consulting firm as an IT consultant, set to do my masters in law tech by September, hoping to combine my knowledge of everything in the future. Thank you for this video once again ♥️
That is so exciting! Wishing you the best on your own journey and good luck with the Masters 🙌🏾 Honestly the alternative experience will take you far.
@@LorraineChimbga I’m sure it would. Good stuff you’re doing on this channel, keep it up 👍🏿 ♥️
Sometimes getting rejection is like taking a hard punch in the stomach... It's really hard not to feel hurt from that pain of rejection. But I'm glad you know how to get healed up and bounce back up and become stronger Lorraine. Thank you for this valuable sharing.
Thank you Lorraine for sharing! This is truly insightful and encouraging. I get doubts from people around me all the time, especially the moment when I have decided to put down my career, and became a law student to pursue my career as a lawyer. Your sharing adds assurance to my commitment in becoming a lawyer. Much Love from Liz~
Very informative and insightful 😀
Very useful video!! Can’t wait for more ❤️
So insightful! Thank you :)
There should be one for associates
Such a great video Lorraine. I like the honest advice you’re given. I’m glad you were able to bounce back.
Amazing informative video. Thank you for posting.
What if you don’t have the legal experience then what can I write?
Hi Lorraine, thanks very much for this really helpful video! I'm in the process of applying for a TC at CC and I've found your advice super helpful ahead of my application. Huge congrats on securing your TC with the firm, they seem to be a great place to train!
Wow. That was *insanely* useful, detailed, practical, etc etc etc. Truly top tier advice, thank you!
Hi I am currently a law Student who plans to transition into LegalTech
(Not quite a new firm when he started. Coward Chance which is what I remember started in 1802. It was the merger with Clifford Turner which in a sense was "new" when I had been practising for a few years in the 1980s)
I love your mindset!! Such an amazing person🥺
You always have amazing encouraging words. Thanks for sharing your experience 🤗
Thanks for the video. I’m completing my cyber security degree next year. Can i get into tech law without studying law?
Openness? Inclusion? From the law firm helping to establish the secretive, elitist European 'Super League'... Bahaha
This is so helpful! Thank you so much for going into so much details and saying these specific examples.

I wish you success in all your examinations.
Thanks for this video. i learnt a lot from it.
Wow, thank you for this video. I was able to learn a lot from it.
Hey Lorraine ! Such a great video. I liked your take on rejection and not getting emotionally invested in the process. It's a tough road but it's good to self reflect.
Thank you Rianna, I am glad you enjoyed the video!
Keep going! You are doing great!
One of the best advice videos (and I’ve watched a lot!) thank you and well done on securing a TC!
Thank you Anthony for taking the time to watch and comment, that's the best compliment ever! I am so glad this was useful 🙌🏾
