    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Morning everyone, I have a bit of a silly question. How do you actually build your commercial awareness? I have signed up to newsletters such as Little Law and Non-billable which I am trying to be more consistent with my reading. I just realised that I have been passively reading without retain...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    The only thing that was holding me back in applying for the DTC was the low chance of success for W&C Direct TCs applications, I am aware that most TCs go out to successful vac schemers. 😅

    Would it be wiser to apply for the direct TC with W&C or wait and apply for the winter vacation scheme?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hello! Hope everyone is well! For the Latham application, do they review the application SJT and VI holistically or do they put more emphasis on a specific part for example VI or SJT? (Hope it makes sense haha)
