In this episode, Camilla Uppal is joined by Varsha Kanitkar, future trainee solicitor at Clifford Chance.

Varsha secured two training contract offers from top firms Clifford Chance and Latham & Watkins in 2020, so we invited Varsha on the show to talk about her top tips for applying for training contracts, preparing for interviews and developing commercial awareness.

Varsha also discusses her experiences as an international student. For those making training contract or vacation scheme applications, this is not one to be missed!

If you are looking for some non-law related books to enjoy over the holidays, check out Varsha’s recommendations which she shares with us in this episode:

- On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, by Ocean Vuong - Sterling Karat Gold, by Elizabeth Waidner
