    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Hi everyone! Just wanted to post on here quickly to say that after three years of applications, a reserve position on the vac scheme and a waiting list position for the training contract, I have been offered a training contract at Trowers & Hamlins 😍😍. This is my dream firm and I am so excited...

    My first vac scheme is coming up for T&H and I'm so nervous about converting it. I would greatly appreciate anyone's advice either on here or via DM. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Just wanted to post here that, after three years of gruelling rejections, unsuccessful assessment centres and being really close to giving up, I have been offered a vac scheme for my dream firm Trowers & Hamlins 😍😍 thank you to everyone here for providing this community, I've seen it grow...

    Placed on London vac scheme reserve list for Trowers - very unsure how likely this is though?

    Has anyone heard back from DACB post video interview? I think they said June for AC invites but I'm just wondering if anyone has prematurely found out anything!
