TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
Definitely a red flag then, and probably reportable to both the SRA and HMRC. If it was paid, then I personally wouldn't have an issue with it, as it wouldn't really be any different to a vacation scheme.- TCLA Community Assistant

Sometimes this approach can be longer than is necessary. Motivations can come from outside of your work experience too. Instead I would focus on no more than 3 of they most influential aspects that have contributed to your decision for the career. This will keep your answer more focused...- TCLA Community Assistant

Moving between the UAE and London won't be impossible, but it won't necessarily be straight forward either. Although you will be qualified in England and Wales, your experience will be predominately on UAE matters rather than English law matters, which will make it somewhat more difficult to...- TCLA Community Assistant

Managing expectations and general advice
I would recommend applying to open days/insight programmes. You may find it difficult to do vacation schemes where you are working for a direct competitor, both in terms of getting time off work and agreement from your current employer to work for a competitors (or general conflict checks)...- TCLA Community Assistant

Managing expectations and general advice
One module being a pass is not going to be an issue for the vast majority of firms, and especially if your other modules are consistent. I don't think this will limit you for the type of firms you have listed below anyway.- TCLA Community Assistant

Some feedback on your CV: I would remove the table formatting - this is creating a lot of unused space in your CV on the left hand column. It is also making the formatting slightly odd in places, such as how your certificates are listed (there is no reason why these need to be across two...- TCLA Community Assistant

The firm technically doesn't have to do anything. You are in breach of contract - so you have technically terminated the agreement by being in breach of the offer, not them.- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
For clarity, it will only be if you have accepted an offer that such a term will be in place. You can hold an offer that you haven't decided on. If you would not accept a TC with the VS firm over the existing TC offer you have, then I would withdraw from the vacation scheme - there is little to...- TCLA Community Assistant

It really doesn't matter what the extracurricular activity is - what you need to demonstrate from the extracurriculars you do are commitment/dedication, having impact within them and transferable skills gained.

It would be better to register with the recruitment agencies or apply directly to suitable vacancies if the recruiter works for a particular employer.- TCLA Community Assistant

It can happen - its not common though, many firms would want you to go through a TC recruitment process. But I have known a small number of people get TC offers having come through a VS recruitment process successfully.- TCLA Community Assistant

I think there are better ways to ask about the topic without it being a controversial question. For instance, “I saw your reviews on Glassdoor, and wondered what your thought were on the comments that consistently state the organisation does not care about employees” could be softened and...- TCLA Community Assistant

I would say most firms have some paralegals. Few have dedicated recruitment programmes for them though - most firms will just recruit paralegals on a on-demand basis for individual departments, especially within London.- TCLA Community Assistant
