TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Hi everyone!

I applied for DLA's Summer Internship a couple of weeks ago, but didn't receive a confirmation email (it didn't go to junk either).

When I log into DLA's application portal I can see that I've applied and there's a message that says:
'Thank you for your interest in DLA Piper. Please complete your assessments as soon as possible.'

However, I can't see anywhere to complete any assessment on the portal.

Has everyone else experienced the same?

I heard back from NRF an hour ago and have an AC for next Thursday (I can’t believe we get one week to prep). Does anyone else have one then? Anyone want to jump on a call and help eachother out ? Teamwork makes the dream work.

This is not a common issue - it is very likely the result of a technical error. As such, I would advise you to reach out to the firm's graduate recruitment department to let them know about it as soon as possible.

There's no VI

So what's the correct answer then lol, are they rolling or not?? How are they all sitting in one office and end up providing different information... 🤦‍♂️

They said today at the discovery day it is non-rolling

Thank you! I completed the VI on the 12th.

Hi @Abbie Whitlock and @Andrei Radu ,

I am currently applying to Weil's UCL x LSE Dinner Event and wondering whether you would be able to help me out with how to structure and what to mention in the question:

Please tell us why you are interested in attending the dinner event at Weil (max 250 words)

Thanks in advance
