    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Would a lawyer do this just for the views? Am I naive in thinking that someone in the legal profession would hold themself out to a higher standard?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    It says "She has lost a training contract worth income of £90k+ over two years." So, not the Magic Circle firms because I imagine 2 years of salaries exceeds 90K for them. Unlikely a silver circle too for the same reasons. What's left of the top 20 firms? Genuinely curious to know which firm...

    McGuireWoods pfo...I didn't apply to them. "Please be assured that your application was given full consideration." I am doubtful of how much consideration was given to candidates who actually applied.

    Just about that LinkedIn connection with the DTC, did they have prior vac schemes/paralegal experience?

    I think some people heard back last week. I haven't heard back yet, not sure if that means I should be expecting a pfo lol.

    I'm in the same boat. I applied ages ago, but their email said they'll be reviewing apps, so I didn't want to annoy them.

    Does anyone know how many vac schemers Orrick take on? Given the small size of the TC intake, is there any point in making a direct TC?

    I'm expecting that to be their mass pfo day, as they don't seem to have rejected any spring/summer candidates. Ugh this cycle has been TERRIBLE.

    Thank you and congratulations on the interview invite. :) Sounds like the first of a two-stage process. In which case, it seems unlikely they'd progress other candidates, given their schemes start in a month.

    I emailed grad recruitment about it. I suspect that means odds are good for those who already made DTC apps?

    I applied to the London office and enquired about when we can expect to hear back. Grad rec said they're still reviewing apps and aim to get back to candidates within 10 weeks of the app deadline. I'm expecting a pfo. I think they have so many candidates further down the pipeline who've...
