TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
- Thread starter Ram Sabaratnam
- Start date
Not sure as the information is unavailable online. I'm visiting the firm tomorrow, and shall ask and let you know!
It's competency related based on a given peculiar scenario. You really do have to think on your feet and there's a lot to read and prepare within 1 minute.
The issue here is the time limit rather than the questions themselves.

"Good morning,
Thank you for your interest in A&O Shearman.
We would like to inform you that the Summer Vacation Scheme is open exclusively to penultimate-year university students. As you have already graduated, your application does not meet the eligibility criteria for this programme.
However, we are pleased to let you know that we have transferred your application to the appropriate Direct Training Contract route."😇 Get confused for the eligibility but still apply to VS... At least knowing that they are looking on apps now...
