TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Like someone earlier said, you could get an offer even up to a month after your interview - so I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet! They're probably busy setting up for the spring people right now too

Sorry - just a bit anxious, but thanks so much.

Hi guys,

I was just looking for some advice on interview questions.

How fundamentally different are the questions 'Why our firm' and 'Why do you want to train at our firm?' Do you think that an interviewer would ask both?

Thanks for your help!!

Has anyone heard anything from Tatham & Co? It's been 2 months since I applied and radio silence.... Also feel their spring scheme should start soon so I probably have been PFO'd

I had an interview with them this week for their easter scheme

 

[Hanzeeb]

Hey! I got a call today for the scheme ! I'm assuming they will be calling over the rest of the week too as the call was quite late in the day Wishing you luck!

Huge congratulations! Can I ask how did you perform in the amberjack?

Thank you for letting me know. When did they get back to you with scheduling the interview date if you don't mind me ask?

They got back to me about two weeks ago

should i expect pfo from mishcon for summer since ac invites have already been sent? tomorrow's the 20th anyway

Has Bristows given out any final stage interviews yet??

 

[Jessica Pearson - Managing Partner]

I have a question. I applied for a summer VS at the same time as another one. I would like to change the date as they offer two periods of time. What is the best way to go about it and is this likely to affect the process/my chance of being accepted?

Bclp post-AC PFO
Guess that concludes my time in the UK

Browne Jacobson TI invite!!!

I had assumed a PFO because people were offered interviews last week! So anyone still waiting - it looks like they are doing it in batches!
(London Office)

 

[CupOfTea17]

To anyone waiting for a Browne Jacobson invite, log in to their careers portal. I had received an invite from them a few days ago but it hadn't gone to my email inbox.

Fingers crossed for everyone!

 

[NomenEstOmen]

has anyone heard from Foot Anstey / Ropes / Spotify (legal intern)?

Still nothing?

 

[lycheelattle]

That’s so late, did they call or email?

they emailed

Has anyone else heard anything back from Stephenson Harwood? We have one person getting a positive outcome around 5:30pm last night — wasn’t sure if anyone else had gotten any positive news?
