• Mention the firm’s recent Private Wealth recognition in the Chambers High Net Worth Guide and, where relevant, explain how your experience or interests align with private client work (estate planning, probate, tax-aware wills).
• If you have attended or would attend the firm’s Vacation Scheme, note that the VPS is week-long and competitive (up to six places) — highlight departmental exposure you would value and link it to the seat you prefer.
• Demonstrate you meet their stated academic bar (typical selection looks for BBB at A-level and a 2:1 degree) and use the application answers to show commercial awareness and evidence of teamwork or client-facing experience.
