TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
Hi, I would interpret this to scatter 'why commercial law' throughout the cover letter. For example, when talking about 'why NRF' you could mention here why commercial law and then specifically why commercial law at NRF. 'What excites you about our programme' also has scope for you to sprinkle...- TCpleasex

Freshfields Knowledge Partner Interview
Hi all, I have an interview coming up with a Freshfields partner for a role in their Knowledge and Information Services. This is the third and final interview in the process and in the last interview I was told that the final stage interview was a more technical interview. Does anyone have...- TCpleasex

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
High street firms don’t have the same budget for recruitment and so a lot of the time they want to hire someone they know will mostly likely stay a long period of time. Perhaps if you are framing your applications as a bridge between where you are at now and where you want to be could be an...- TCpleasex

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
I think your mindset is a large factor - thinking of a legal secretary job as the most entry level doesn’t solidify you employment. As someone who has worked in a high street firm as a legal secretary there is still a high level of skill and understanding necessary in that particular practice...- TCpleasex

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
I can’t speak on what specifically you will be asked, however, I had a telephone interview with WBD & it was very much motivational on why law & why the firm. It felt like more of a conversation testing whether I fit the firm’s vibe & what they’re looking for in trainees as opposed to my...- TCpleasex

I have an interview in a couple of days with Eversheds for a paralegal role. Has anyone interviewed with them for a paralegal role before & have any advice? P.s I know this is for VS advice, however, not really sure where else to post as there’s no paralegal forum 🥺- TCpleasex

Thank you so much! The email said that details of the AC will be provided nearer the time. My AC isn’t until until May so I was going to do general firm/AC/commercial prep until specifics have been given. I’ve never done a virtual AC before, do you have any advice on how to approach this...- TCpleasex

WBD Leeds AC!!! Genuinely in shock, I have been applying for VS/TCs for 4 cycles now & always getting rejected post-app. This is my 2nd AC this cycle alongside 2 VI & 1 TI. For those struggling this cycle don’t give up, I have always lived by ‘what is for you will never go past you’ & this...- TCpleasex

Not silly at all, I was the exact same!! I had the mindset that I didn’t want them to think I was sacrificing one aspect for the other but it was a webinar with grad recruitment at a firm last year that changed my whole mindset to it. I’m not sure if anything is coming up webinar-wise but...- TCpleasex

Unpopular opinion, however, I genuinely prefer (and kinda enjoy) doing Amberjack. Every firm is different with their pillars & what they are looking for, however, I will try give some tips that help me. One thing I think trips people up is inconsistency. I know you have probably read this a...- TCpleasex

I have a telephone interview with them on Monday for the Leeds office. I think I saw someone also got an interview for the London office somewhere in the thread as well but I can’t exactly remember. I’m not sure about any other offices.- TCpleasex
