    Hello! Congratulations!! Please when did you hear from HSF? I applied to them very early on and have heard nothing back. This is for vacation scheme.

    Yes. Linklaters sent an email saying that: “This is a final reminder to complete your application for the position of Spring Vacation Scheme 2025 at Linklaters before the deadline tomorrow, December 12th at 11:59pm. You need to have submitted your application form and completed the Capp...

    Hi! Anyone who has heard from Linklaters so far - did you apply for the Spring or Summer scheme? I applied for the Winter Vacation scheme and got rejected from it, but graduate recruitment emailed me at the time and asked if I wanted to transfer my application to the Spring / Summer scheme as...

    I'm slightly confused by the Linklaters vacation scheme process - they don't ask for work experience, so are they simply putting more emphasis on the Capp assessment and WG test?

    Not sure if any of you guys have seen the Linklaters vacation scheme applicants’ theory that people who have 77% progress on their application and a tick next to candidate review were the ones to get AC’s. I’m not reading much into it but out of pure curiosity, as direct TC applicants, do you...

    Ask Paul, Weiss Anything!

    If an Indian Student wants to apply for a training contract with Paul Weiss, would we have to do a conversion course or can we directly apply for the Vacation Scheme in our penultimate year (as allowed by firms such as HSF, Linklaters, A&O)?

    WHAT ARE THEY? First-Year Schemes, Vacation Schemes, Training Contracts

    Hi Amma. First of all, I deeply appreciate your guidance! I am going to pursue an LLM in the UK for the academic year 2026-27. I have been extensively researching re the vac schemes and TC, and while I am now well-versed with the process of it all, I do have one doubt about TCs. I have noticed...

    The firm takes on roughly less than 10 trainees a year in total. I’ve quoted a section from one of TCLA’s threads titled “where firms recruit from”, which should provide more context. It seems they have a healthy direct TC intake as well. I also want to stress the importance of not looking at...

    I imagine most TCs would go to VS candidates. In terms of %, I think they have 30 slots for both Spring and Summer VS (60 total). I think c50% of VS’ers (30/60) get a TC offer. 🙂 That is around 75-80% of TCs (30/40). Based on this, I think there are around 10/40 TCs available on the Direct TC...
