    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Nope. You need to have done the LPC before you can start at TC with them. I spoke to someone at the firm and they said as long as you have finished your exams before the TC start date you should be eligible. Going to follow up regarding whether you need results before the start date or not and...

    Am I eligible to apply for a TC to commence in September 2022 if I am only going to write my final LPC exam on the 9th of September? Assuming the TC start date is a week later so there is no cross over would this be okay or will I have to have received my results before I can start?

    There are two interviews. The first is the one I mentioned above with three partners and a discussion about an article. If you are successful, there is a 1-to-1 interview with a partner.

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    If an interview is with 3 partners and includes an article for discussion, is it less likely to be focused on competency-based questions and more on my motivations for a career in law and that firm etc? With only a day and a half until the interview and working a full-time job preparation time...

    Interview invite for Akin Gump TC. The email says I will receive a short article the day before that will form part of the interview. If anyone has any experience with this or just advice/tips in general I'd be very grateful. Would also be good to know how long the interview lasts if anyone...

    Completing the Eversheds application and would be grateful if anyone had any input regarding one of the questions. The question is, "When have you delivered a piece of work where quality was an important factor?" Does this need to be some form of written work like an article, essay, work...

    When you say application process concluded (no new VI's/AC's expected) does that mean if you haven't been invited to a VI or AC your PFO is on the way?
