Technically it’s for the vac scheme but they only recruit vac schemers from their open day which I think has an interview as part of it, so it doubles as an AC too? Idek it’s very weird lmao.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Eligibility for 2028 TC
Hi matey, Nah it isn’t a stupid question at all! As a non-law student, you’d need to complete the PGDL and SQE post graduation. The timeline would look like this essentially: July/Aug 2027: graduate from non-law degree September 2027: begin the PGDL course July/Aug 2028: finish the PGDL...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
My mind has gone completely blank. For AllHires apps, where it asks for us to enter work history in chronological order (most recent first), is this from the start date, end date or both? I’ve looked at my other apps but it lowkey looks like my entries have been mixed up lmfao. Does anyone have...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Firms: hey we’ve simplified our app process and so now we’re only gna ask for work experiences and academics, i.e., no more long written questions. Me: ayy that’s light work let me get started on my app cos this should be a breeze. Surely there won’t be a catch or any hidden plot twists right?…...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

My face when I arrived on campus for a seminar at a Northern RG uni for the first time only to discover I was in fact the only northerner in the room… It was a struggle frfr!

I relate to this personally as a fellow northerner hahaha. It’s difficult and the imposter syndrome is real. It’s mostly psychological but people have had awful experiences by being told to ‘change’ their accent if they want a successful legal career. It’s probably an indication of that firm’s...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Lowkey this screams it’s Baker McKenzie or Mayer Brown (US firms similar pay to MC). If it’s either of these, he should be fine for lateralling. I’m sure Mayer Brown is considered one of the best firms for its training quality and is targeted by a lot of the more ‘prestigious’ US firms.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I’ve sent around 18 so far since Sept and want to send around 9-10 more for VS. I know there are mixed feelings about how many firms is a decent number. Some people will try say less than 10 to ensure each app is of the highest quality, others say send at least 50 cos it’s a numbers game. I...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
