    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Is it necessary to talk about the culture of the firm in the 850 word personal statement? I talk about two practice area of Freshfields that I want to try but because of this much detail, I do not have space for the culture of the firm. Just wondering if it would be detrimental for my application

    Thisis what their website says. "We do not have a minimum grade requirement, however, we look for candidates who have strong academic results and should be commercially aware, intellectually curious and work well in a team."

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hi @Jessica Booker, is it okay to just refer to Freshfields as Freshfields in the first instance in my personal statement or should I spell out the full name of the firm first and then abbreviate to Freshfields?

    I applied for the TC too close to deadline given they were non-rolling but there hasn't been any update yet. I think I heard about some people on this forum getting ACs but I may be hallucinating lol

    Thank you. Your analogy about the wheel of fortune is so correct. I should look at it that way. Before this I had only ever interviewed at one law firm and got through and got a scheme.
