TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[lawstudent2003]

Hi! Does anyone have any insight / advice for the SPB AC?

 

[trainee2025]

Has anyone had any experience in asking a firm offering you a VS offer to a TC offer instead (whether by re-interviewing or else) - if so please PM me!!

I did this successfully for 2 firms. I think it’s quite case-by-case but feel free to pm

Took Withers' test in late Feb and still haven't heard back🥲 Their webpage says they conduct interviews in Feb-Mar, so idk if it's a PFO at this rate

Has anyone done the job sim for Mayer brown. Would really appreciate some guidance on the written exercise.

how to best approach a written exercise where you are given an article and are supposed to write an email summarising the key points. Should I signpost?

I wouldn’t signpost. I would write it as if someone hasn’t got the time to read the article.
