    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Did they say the part about the SJT during one of the open days? I only went to TCLA's event with Paul and don't recall him saying this. I will regret spending all that time on the app if I'm just going to get knocked off by an SJT...

    That makes sense RE: Mills & Reeves - with how easy it is to submit.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    I guess it makes the PFOs easier to bear. 2000 applications for Mills & Reeves is insane though. I'd have expected that for a MC/SC firm not a national firm.

    I think you can reapply in the same recruitment cycle...or at least their application page says you can apply to the opportunities individually.

    For everyone's sanity on this forum, can we agree to go with AG = Addleshaw Goddard and Akin = Akin Gump?

    One person said they applied to Pinsent Mason's London office. I also got a PFO for London.

    Hiya I did mine a while ago, but I remember it being the cappfinity style SJT+Critical Thinking+Numerical component type test. There's also a case study component where you have to write a note of advice, as well as 2 VI questions that were motivational + competency (I think). But you can log in...

    One of the applications I'm working on asks to discuss a commercial issue. Would the car finance mis-selling count as such (even if it stems from a court ruling)?
