TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
The firm has actually listed its requirements on their website. Feel free to head on over to TCLA Directory and click on Perkins Coie. We’ve highlighted the requirements there too. There are also two posts I’ve quoted which should help. One on general cover letters, the other on the firm...- Amma Usman

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
In my opinion, the main skill law firms, and even any organisation, are trying to test by placing group exercises is the extent to which you are a team player. How well you work in a team. From my perspective on this, it can be a real dealbreaker if you are set a task and are unable to work with...- Amma Usman

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
It’s generally okay if you occasionally stumble over your words during an interview. That alone is very unlikely to lead to a straight and outright rejection. Many firms are aware that interviews can make even the most confident candidates nervous, and they often take that into account. In fact...- Amma Usman

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
It’s so lovely that you’re practicing from now. There’s a course on TCLA which goes through the WG that should help. I’ve linked below: https://classes.thecorporatelawacademy.com/l/products?sortKey=name&sortDirection=asc&page=1 In terms of the scores, passing thresholds differ between...- Amma Usman

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
As Jess said, unless you have no passion to secure a TC with your VS firm, then this is not advisable. I had once gotten two ACs during a VS, but turned them down because my interest in training at the firm I was doing a VS at, was greater. Ultimately, communication is key, as well as balancing...- Amma Usman

Intellectual Property
Hi, Bird & Bird, Hogan Lovells, and Taylor Wessing ( as @3000to1shoteverytime rightly mentioned ) are some, among many others, with great IP practices.

How to convert a Vacation Scheme into a Training Contract ?
Hi, You’ve got a solid starting point here, and with a few tweaks, it can become even stronger. Another thing is that the firm is already built up to a high standard, so what you can do instead is phrase it as you wanting to help it grow further. But even this can appear generic without the...- Amma Usman

Linklaters application?
Another thing is that (at least from what I’ve gauged from the website (it’s worth confirming with GR)), is that I presume the WG test is sent soon after completing the Cappfinity. This makes it almost automatic. If this is so, then it is likely your performance on that will also count towards...- Amma Usman

Linklaters application?
Hiya, Hope you’re having a FAB Monday! I’ve linked a post to help: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/linklaters-2019-20-application.1653/ Such assessments may tend to fall within the remit of SJTs, and my best advise is to honestly trust your instinct (very cliche, I know...- Amma Usman

Linklaters Applications
This is a really good question, and it also differs between firms. While I am unsure about Links in particular, it’s worth emailing GR to confirm. In the meantime, I’ve dug up an old link which should answer the question under the heading… “Should I apply for a vacation scheme or a training...- Amma Usman

Urgent: Technical Glitch with HSF Hong Kong Application Portal (University Field)
This usually happens. Sometimes a glitch may mean that blank boxes aren’t showing for some reason, so it’s great you’ve messaged grad rec to see how to best proceed. I’ve seen that the deadline is not until the 18th of July, though it’s best to follow up with GR if the application is rolling or...- Amma Usman

Case Study Practice - how to prepare?
I’m really sorry to hear about the rejection. I know how tough that can be, especially after putting so much effort into the application process. I've been there myself more times than I can count, and I just want to say that how you're feeling now is completely valid, but also temporary...- Amma Usman
