    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    This might sound like a stupid question, but if an application asks for references, what exactly are they looking for? I am almost finished with my Paul Hastings SVS application and it asks for two references, but I don’t know what that means lmao. This is one of the perks of a first...

    I think a brief introduction and conclusion would be good but they should be like 50 words each at most so that the bulk of the content is addressing the question (assuming this is for Stephenson Harwood). 🙂

    They’ll also use the classic law firm “we received an unprecedented number of applications and as a result, we are unable to provide specific feedback on your application…” 🥲🥲

    This could be an option but then some firms don’t want their future trainees to work while studying the sqe so it becomes a problem with that aspect as well. Also, it could prevent or reduce the chances of that person passing the sqe exams first time if they need to work part time while...

    How would this work for people who perhaps can’t take out student finance or loans due to religious or cultural reasons? Would a firm be able to provide that person with additional financial support or would that future trainee be stranded? 🥲

    I am convinced graduate recruiters have a name generator/spinning wheel thing and the first 100-200 names it produces are the people that get AC; everyone else is auto rejected. It defo seems like they enie mine mine mo this sh*t. Oh well it is what it is. 🥲🥲

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    To my knowledge the latter 3 (Fried Frank, Paul Hastings and White & Case) are all non-rolling, and their deadlines are between May-July, so I think they would only start getting back to everyone that applied from June/July onwards. 🙂

    Their website says they look for a 2:1 or 1st at undergraduate level and a majority of A grades at A-level, which I’m guessing means AAB. I think they use rare recruitment though and do take into consideration MC, so idk how strict that requirement is. 🤷🏾‍♂️ I’m working on my application for...

    Their deadline is the 28th and whilst they review on a rolling basis, you can technically send your application on deadline day and they would still review it (they don’t make any offers before the deadline). It’s 4 days till deadline day, so technically you could do 600 words per day (i.e., 1...

    I saw someone on the forum mention they had received an AC invite recently and that Hogan Lovells confirmed to them that they were running AC’s until around mid March time. 🙂

    Whoever decided that VI’s were a good thing to add to the graduate recruit process needs to seriously go outside and touch some f****ng grass imo. Worst idea to have ever been thought of smh. 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

    I have seen a few people on this forum who applied to RPC and were progressed through their stages quite quickly and now have VS offers. Not sure if that was for Spring or Summer though idrk how RPC works, just going based off what I’ve seen on here. 🥲

    To my knowledge, Ashurst extended their deadline to the end of Feb (the latest they will get back to people), but that date is essentially the day they send out all of their PFO’s. It was like this for the WVS. Travers Smith have started their interviews but so far I think only 4-5 people have...

    Linklaters are definitely doing a madness because why have I just received a PFO from them for the VS when I didn’t even apply for it at all wtf lmao. 😂😂
