TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[pfoapplicant]

Hi guys! Would it be fair to assume that law-related work experience (for the purposes of the DWF application form) doesn't include things like mentoring students who are going through the Oxbridge law admissions process?

If anyone has any tips, I'd be super grateful!

Addleshaw Goddard Voice Interview 🎉 Any tips would be much appreciated, going to need to complete it after I have undertaken my CMS Video Interview tomorrow morning

Hey, congrats!! May I ask when you applied?

Hi, has anybody completed the W&C VI and wouldn't mind sharing some insight? Thanks

This for spring/summer? If so, hope you don’t mind if I ask when you got the invite/when you applied?

DLA AC!!!! This is my first ever AC invite ever, I’m equally excited and terrified! Thanks to everyone on here for the helpful tips and general good vibes.
Question - what’s the likelihood of them letting me do another AC date? This one is the day before my FLK1 🫠😂

 

[Dannie]

If anyone has done the W&C VI would really appreciate some insights, happy to also return the favour with a number of firms including slaughters and may, mishcon, HL, FF Mayer Brown and more!

 

[elle woods]

😭 would anyone have any insights into Weil, Mayer Brown or Kirkland VI please?

good j*b guys!!!!! when did you do your TI

also im basically certain that DLA would be able to accommodate your request to change your AC date, seeing how theyre a mammoth who host several ACs each year

probably a good thing you haven't yet - they seem to be sending out PFOs only at the moment, so pray you don't hear back!! I would assume AC invites will be sent in the new year! Good luck!

ugh i hope so😭THANKS ELLE🫶

 

[johnsmith]

Wait really🥲 I’m soo sorry to hear that.

I thought most get the stage 2. Unless lev fin is more strict🤔 maybe you have to write about lev fin in the questions.

May I ask when you applied > did tests and was it for spring or summer?
etc sorry just gauging my fate although never saw myself progressing super far with the firm!

Lucky you have BCLP in interview in Jan

Yes thankfully I have two VS lined up already so not fussed and culturally I don’t think I’d be keen to work there - I did the test when they first started issuing them I think in early November!

Have you done OC? 🤣

Shall get there in January. My mind doesn't allow me to work on a submission until the deadline, especially when it's not rolling 😭

Never stop flexing. You worked hard for this 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

 

[e_turbo2]

Yeah I wasted my time on that Weil SJT + VI. Definitely guessed for the maths Qs... After that SJT I was just soooo drained for the VI questions. PFO me asap pls it's okay xx
