    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Is the fast-track arrangement common in the legal industry or just limited to Linklaters only? I have applied for HL vacation scheme and will be attending their open day this week so it would be great if I could fast-track my application. By the way, has anyone heard from Gibson Dunn yet?

    Unfortunately the rather frustrating answer here is that it depends on the specific firm. Some firms, such as Latham and Linklaters, are known to have a different assessment track for VS applicants who attended an Open Day. Anecdotally, for some other firms attending an open day does not seem to...

    Is it possible to get a TC without doing a vacation scheme?

    Hi there, It is possible to secure a TC through direct TC route. Most firms offer this option. You can find out which firms offer this via a simple Google search. As for which firms typically recruit from their vacation scheme cohort, you may find the attached thread useful. Hope this helps.

    I did the vac scheme with Linklaters last year. For anyone wondering, they consider more the Capp test. When I did it, I considered their framework. However, there is no specific way to pass the test. For the WG the benchmark is quite low, you just need to pass it. They also fast track a lot...
