    Has anyone got some advice on how to dress for an assessment centre where the following instructions were sent re dress code: "There is no specific dress code. At the firm we adopt a 'dress for your day' policy meaning when colleagues have client meetings or court visits, they will dress a lot...

    I just checked again and neither one of the emails they sent me say that, but thanks for letting me know. My AC isn’t for a few more days so I’m guessing it’s all fine.

    For anyone who has received an Osborne Clarke virtual assessment centre invite, are you able to login to the TopScore platform? I just tried clicking the link to make sure it works and realised its a platform I've never been asked to sign up for and therefore don't have an account on. Pressing...

    Strange, in my email they said they'll start getting back to people from the last week of January.

    I did the VI a couple of weeks ago and haven’t heard back yet. Which email said the first AC would be on the 13th though? I just checked my last few emails from them and can’t find that info anywhere.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    Hi everyone, hoping to get some advice on video interview rules. I am preparing to complete a VI which has unlimited prep time. The email states that whilst the prep time is unlimited, I will be monitored throughout to ensure that I complete the prep by myself. I am curious as to exactly what I...

    Has anyone on here done Osborne Clarke's deductive reasoning SHL test? I just did it and I think it was by far the hardest law firm test I've ever done... so little time for questions which aren't necessarily "hard" but realistically just can't be done that fast because you need a couple of...

    Vac Scheme App submitted at 00:00 on deadline night

    I mean, if it let you submit the form then it sounds like you managed to get it in before the deadline on their system? That’s a crazy situation though haha, I’m just imagining you sweating over your keyboard trying to get the application submitted with mere seconds left on the clock 🤣

    Is the Mishcon de Reya AI chat assessment automatic, or does receiving it mean you've actually been progressed past the application stage?

    Is this for their Milton Keynes office? I believe the London office has around 20 TC's a year, or is that not correct?

    What I found more weird is that they never asked for work experience, or did I somehow miss that section?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    I’m really confused by Osborne Clarke’s verbal reasoning test. The instructions clearly state that whilst the test is timed, you can leave at any time, but you will then have to restart the test. Doesn’t this mean you basically get unlimited attempts at taking the test - i.e. if your time is...
