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

[PF'noooo!]

Hi all. For the Willkie VI, it says they will test my 'understanding of law firms'. Is this a general question about the structure of law firms or would this more relate to the opportunities and risks law firms face?

Hey, has anyone done the BCLP interview recently and heard back if they've progressed or not? Just wondered how long it takes for people to typically hear back

Can anyone who has done the Weil VI share insight into the number/theme of questions and how much time to prepare? Thank you!

Can I ask how you prepared? Do they do a range of commercial, situation and competency questions?

Hey, I'd recommend doing some in-depth research of the firm and understanding of the role of a trainee, and also competencies you can slot into behavioural/scenario questions

Has anyone heard anything at all from White and Case since sending off application? They say they review on a rolling basis but no one seems to have been invited to anything!
