    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    A good answer should have a structure that describes the scenario ➡️ walks the interviewer through your options ➡️ details the reasoning behind your choice ➡️ explains the impact of your decision-making. It's normal to freak out before your first AC- it's a new process for you and there's a lot...

    Commercial Case Study Assumptions

    This is a really interesting question! The competition concerns that I can identify in this scenario relate to foreign investment- maybe certain investment thresholds could trigger a competition investigation by authorities in the jurisdiction that the company is based in/operates in on grounds...

    I'd take a leaf out of a conversation I once had with a partner for inspiration to answer this question. For him, innovation meant finding new ways of doing an established task/process. It didn't need to include technological or business-minded innovation at all (and this came from a person...

    Do law firms look for perfection?

    Rather than perfection, what law firms look for is self-aware, capable and authentic candidates with a demonstrable interest in a career in commercial law. Rounding this off as 'perfection' makes a highly complex and considered process of selection seem simplistic. Your luck and the information...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    There's something about sitting alone in a room staring at a camera answering questions prompted on a screen while a timer is ticking away that can be so unsettling in a VI. The one thing that helped me get over this was treating VIs as an opportunity to be face-to-face with the firm to show...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Everybody has different goals, capacities and timelines in their application journey. One of the most toxic things I did was compare how many applications I made in comparison to everybody else, not realising that all it takes is for just that one application to work out. Seven is a commendable...

    I have to say, seeing you all deal with your PFOs lightheartedly and while supporting each other has me in awe of the forum 👏👏👏 You're all absolute stars!!!

    Getting it off your chest is one of the best things you can do right now. Try to take a break from applications for as long as you need and rely on the support of your family, friends and the forum as well to process this. We've all been where you are and we're rooting for you to come out stronger🤞

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    I'd use paragraphs, assigning about 2-3 lines per interest/activity, and avoid headings. You could, however, put the interests/activity's name in bold or underline it, if the system allows for it, and then continue with your paragraph. I'd keep it under 500 words as well as Jessica said.

    There's no need to link as such- your interest in the profession can be distinct from OC. However, if you feel inclined to link the two, the way I'd suggest you do this is by using a broader, core reason for your interest in the profession and fitting a narrower, interlinked reason for being...

    Having thought about the question a bit more deeply, I think you should be able to both demonstrate your interest and justify why that law should be introduced/what need it's addressing. With the obligation to provide genetic information, while you may be able to show your interest owing to your...

    I wouldn't overthink this- the firm is primarily looking for you to demonstrate your thought process and depth of interest rather than to judge you on your choice of topic. Anything works as long as you're able to justify your interest- what sparked it, sustained it etc.
