TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

[captainhilts]

anyone have any idea when kirkland gets back post-AC?

Does Travers not have an AC? Remember them mentioning at an event that the next stage is an interview- does anyone know if this is competency-based, who it is with, if it’s only the one interview?

I remember it was motivational, commercial awareness and some ethical questions. For example, I got asked how do you justify Brexit? How do you justify tax avoidance? And a specific ethical question based on a scenario.

Although I'm not sure if the Brexit question is still relevant because I had my interview before COVID

Hey, have you heard anything? I'm still waiting for an update

Got in touch with grad rec and they said they are still reviewing applications and GBA scores. They aim to deliver all application outcomes in the next few weeks.

Hope this helps. It's not necessarily a PFO.

Interesting, I don't think they are going through them in order tho

I don't think so either, at least not based on when you did the GBA.

Does anyone know the numbers of vacation scheme places Ropes & Gray have?

Hi there, i'm currently a paralegal at A&O (on a one year contract). I went through a recruiter and then did interviews with the associate and partner. I didn't need to take an assessment!

Hi, what recruiter did you go through?

Hey, has anyone heard from Winston post the WG test?

just heard back with an interview invite

 

[Jcl1999]

Does anyone know where I can find info about recent deals completed by pwc legal? Just finding it difficult to spot any.

Have you heard back post VI?

For those who are wondering, Aspiring Solicitors have sent out their spring scheme links for the HeadStart to those who have applied. At least, I’ve just received an email from them.

Also, congrats @Asil Ahmad on your paralegal role, you deserve it as you’ve work hard! 🎉
It came up on my LinkedIn as @Jaysen commented on it.

Has anybody heard back from King & Spalding after submiting your AC preference date?

 

[ssolicitorz]

I have an AC in 3 weeks. Do you guys recommend me buying "Know the City" and reading it up to it?

 

[Rob93]

Not sure exactly but I think they have like 8-12 on each

 

[futuretraineecity]

I’m currently doing a SWOT analysis of a firm I have an interview with, but I’m really struggling with how to assess its weaknesses. Does anyone have any ideas?

Honestly yes, even if its not for the AC it just gives such a great and clear overview of the city that its a great reference book!
