    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hi yes that's the new entrant discount I mentioned above. AG said they are aware of this. But if they use the £50k going rate, they may not meet the 70% salary threshold for some or all of their offices.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hi all, I checked with AG regarding their ability to sponsor work visa for TCs as their application form says they may not be able to sponsor. Grad rec replied saying we would need right to have right to work as the applicable going rate is for 'solicitors and lawyers' (£52,300). They do still...

    My Journey to TC

    Some random thoughts I watched some Suits clips last night and I first watched this show with my dad. Back then I thought it was so cool to become a lawyer. When I first started uni, I genuinely wanted to become a lawyer. But now I don't think I still "want to" become a lawyer, it just felt...
