TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
Hey, I know the feeling. This happened to me many times in the past. Unfortunately, sometimes there really is nothing more you can do. For Freshfields, I attended their workshop, which required an application, spoke to many lawyers, and spent a lot of time on my application, yet I still did not...- Giannis_218

Paralegal work
Hey, I was in a similar position last year. Some agencies you could look at include Ryder Reid, Michael Page UK, and Larbey Evans, just to name a few.

They are, but it is never too late. Last year, people were still progressed to the next stages even if they submitted late. Most TI outcomes usually come out in mid January, so I would encourage you to apply.- Giannis_218

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
I get the feeling. Last year I spent a lot of time on my CC application and still got rejected at the first stage. You need to focus on quality, but it is also a numbers game at the end of the day. Onwards and upwards. Just keep going and stay consistent with the quality, and I promise the...- Giannis_218

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
Hey Olivia, First of all, congrats on getting through to the VI stage. From what I remember last year, there were four questions covering a mix of commercial, situational, and strength or attribute based topics. One key difference compared to other VIs is that the talking time is only one minute...- Giannis_218
