TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[floral.tcla]

I’ve gotten case studies about corporate investigations, injunctions, and even sponsorship agreements 😿

been there done that because why are these law firms expecting us to know as much as a trainee😀

 

[radssss]

Were any of the OC ACs received yesterday for London or were they all for Bristol?

Think it was all Bristol.

If someone got one for london yesterday, please correct me!

Does anyone know how long WFW take to respond after ACs?

 

[floral.tcla]

Not to bring up 👻Gowling again but…. I think maybe VS ACs are held in late February instead of Jan… that’s the most logical reason I can think of for why it seems no one has heard back post-VI (for the London VS)😅

Hi everyone, today was my last day at TCLA and I’m now getting ready to begin my TC in March. I really enjoyed my time here, and just wanted to say thanks to each and every one of you that made me feel welcome! I know the journey is long, gruelling, often crippled with self-doubt but just know that you will eventually come out on the other side, and you’ll look back and feel very proud of what you accomplished. Wishing you all the best…

@Abbie Whitlock and @Andrei Radu will be around to answer your questions, and @Jaysen will still be keeping an eye on you all (so, in the words of Shakira, no fighting).

Thank you so much for the support! Best of luck, you're gonna rock it!

hey guys, happy tuesday! Does anyone have insight on the OC virtual AC? (Bristol) specifically in regards to the "interactive q&a" - is this separate to the presentation or the follow-up questions to the presentation?

I feel like after all this I'm just going to get a PFO anyway 😅

Anyone who's done the WFW AC I'd appreciate any insights into how its structured!

Congrats on AC! Can I ask when you did VI and when you got the AC invite?

 

[Jennifer2003]

Reed Smith AC!!! Had my telephone interview after they couldn’t hear my VI on Friday (23rd). I got 9,4,4,7 and high numerical and verbal. The only space available was February 5th.

Not sure if anybody is Leeds based but also got a Walker Morris AC this morning as well!

 

[DoNotRedeem]

V&E VI, does anyone know if this is selective?

 

[lolololol]

V&E vi! any advice would be appreciated please

 

[Bottega_Veneta]

V&E VI, does anyone know if this is selective?

Congrats!! Out of curiosity, when did you apply? 😊

 

[kukubird]

they said we should hear back by the 12th of feb

Did they say this during their open day? Also do you know what is after the application stage if anything?

 

[wetbread]

V&E vi, applied on day of the deadline

I got a jump scare from bakers (post test for summer). They emailed me my feedback report again.

What I don't understand is that it's a Spring VS so it doesn't make sense for the ACs to be in late February 😭

I have accepted the fate that they are just poorly organised 💀

 

[Ancika]

Bakers just resent my feedback report that I received after taking the psychometric (10 days ago) … was it supposed to be a rejection .. I guess we will see.

 

[nbjani]

Thank you! VI in December AC today. Also guys I need advice the only slot available clashes with one my exams (its a stupid BPP resit for reference)

Nice! Just drop them an email, I did that with Denton’s and they found an alternative date for me
