TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
Hi, I have my Dechert AC coming up this Friday and it will be held virtually. Does anyone know how technical the interview is going to be? I have seen on Ziplaw that past year questions included “what is a LBO”/“Name the different steps in M&A”. I’m wondering if it’s the same level of...- Izzy1026

Has anyone done the first round interview for Travers? How long do they take to get back? In their post-interview follow up it said “as soon as possible” which is really vague so I’d appreciate a more concrete timeline! Thank you!- Izzy1026

Who are Travers Smith's competitors? I see they are very well-balanced and traverse (all pun intended) many practice areas, should I be referring to their practice area/sector competitors or overall competitors?- Izzy1026

Thank you! I submitted on 29 Oct. Yes it was fairly quick, and I didn't expect them to call me to schedule the interview. I declined it twice thinking it was a scam call 🤣- Izzy1026

Wanted to ask a question in the other thread but it looks a bit busy at the moment so I will put it here... I am keen to apply to King & Spalding's insight programmes but none of their dates work for me. Does anyone know if they will be at any virtual law fairs? How else can we build...- Izzy1026

Hello friends, I'm back for my application diary ✨ My inbox has been super quiet this week. I submitted the TC app for Travers and Open Day app for Cooley yesterday. I am quite (pleasantly) surprised that these days I am able to finish more than 1 application a day - I used to take 3-5 days to...- Izzy1026

Question re: Mishcon VS app. When they ask "If we were to invite you to interview, what issue would you most like to talk about and why? This can be a non-legal issue and should be something you genuinely feel passionate about", do they actually mean ANYTHING? Should I take this as a question to...- Izzy1026
