    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I double checked cos I thought I remembered they had mentioned this too, but I only ticked the vacation scheme option (for some reason... current me is disliking past me) so I am making a TC application in case.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hi - I was wondering if anyone had some thoughts on what would be appropriate to include in the following question for my Farrer & Co training contract application. I have a place on the firm's summer vacation scheme, but I believe you have to submit a DTC application to be considered for a TC...

    Me too! I thought about asking if they would offer it, but I feel like if they didn’t include it in the email it is unlikely…

    Paul, Weiss PFO too post-interview - at least the email was nice!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    As a follow up question - if they only have a London office and expect you to complete the SQE in London, would they mind if you didn't live in London? I know that the commute would obviously be something to deal with, but would they expect you to live in London in order to get the maintenance...

    Thank you so much!! The TCLA community has been really motivating this cycle! I definitely took more steps this year in my fourth (and final 🙏🏼) year of uni to develop outside of my academics and I think it has paid off 🥹 I definitely will celebrate!! I’ve only just stopped celebrating my...

    Stephenson harwood spring VS offer!! So surprised considering my SJT score but so excited! I believe I can also share that I received an offer from Farrer & Co for their summer VS! My summer will therefore be super hectic as I am also completing a VS at Travers Smith the two weeks after as well...

    I think it’s usually phone but I did get a VS offer over email last week and they didn’t try and call first.

    Stephenson Harwood assessment invite! Does anyone know if this is automatic? Also does anyone have tips for the video interview, as I am notoriously awful at them (flashbacks to Weil VI...). Thank you!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hi! I’m not sure if this is Farrer, but I applied for their vac scheme which has similar / same questions and I got to AC. I sort of divided it into: How do you fill your time outside of work and studying and why? - I spoke about my hobbies and interests (e.g. reading, instruments, sports...

    I submitted my Stephenson Harwood application literally like two minutes ago too lol 😅 - I honestly think it is just down to what you prefer. I did a placement year so technically have a year of legal experience, but I much prefer spending time at the firm rather than going straight to a TC...

    Yes I did! It's nice to know there's still a possibility of being invited to an assessment day later down the line. Yep, mine said that. Must be in all the emails they send out
