TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[Emilia]

I had an interview with Boodle Hatfield about a week and a half ago but I haven't heard anything since

I still haven't heard back even after I sent them an email last Wednesday

Kennedys AC! If anyone has any tips, I will greatly appreciate it! ❤️ fell a bit off the wagon from applications and commercial awareness due to burn out so feel like I gotta really prep hard for this 😅

Did anyone hear back from Katten since Friday? I was told they wouldn't email PFOs - and only contact successful candidates - but I was wondering if anyone got an email.

Has anyone heard back from Irwin Mitchell's legal work placement yet? I applied to London office.

Hi all, I'm Natasha - a Product Lead at TCLA. I just wanted to come onto here to let you know about an opportunity that might interest many of you.

We are looking for our next cohort of the TCLA Academy. The goal of this Academy is to help you develop your legal and commercial awareness.

I know from experience how learning about the business and financial world can be mind-boggling. It feels like there is an infinite amount to learn and it is difficult to know where to start. With so much jargon out there and with commercial law being so vast, you might question: what do corporate lawyers actually do? What do litigation and structured finance lawyers do?

But what if you had the answers to such questions? Imagine if you could speak in the language of your future clients and could confidently articulate your understanding of what different lawyers do.

I remember feeling like this was a distant pipe dream. However, this goal is well within your reach and you do not have to face it alone. By joining the TCLA Academy, you can learn how to confidently approach any commercial question at interview. You will get to train with experts - from partners to senior professionals – through interactive sessions, and be supported every step of the way.

Congratulations!! Was this for one of the SQE programmes or the TC? Well done again

 

[lawapplicant]

As a Northerner, is there any point applying to a vacation scheme in Milton Keynes?

 

[lawapplicant]

Have AC invites gone out for NRF yet?

@CorpLawyer00 hasn't reported he has got one so I assume not

 

[Deleted member 21782]

I did my VI for W&C on the 15th Feb.

Is there anyone on this chat that did it on that date or after and has heard back regarding an AC invite?

 

[NextStageOfTheApplication]

Hey guys, has anyone heard back from Reed Smith after AC?

Nothing yet, when did you do your AC? I did mine about a week ago now. Manifesting for good news ✨
