    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    It seems to vary by firm, but I had Links cancel my winter VS application in favour of a DTC app.

    Need to do it tomorrow! Nobody seems to have responded to multiple people asking it so I’m guessing nobody has taken it yet.

    I hear you! I actually think the VI is the real opportunity for this, how you deliver and represent yourself and demonstrate your research verbally feels so important.

    Interested to understand, how do you feel an SJT allows you to prove yourself? Also in the low 2:1 camp. To me, they just feel like you either get the right values or you don't, and really don't represent me as a person much at all.

    Interesting for my OD application, I got self-motivation & effective communication as strengths, but personal responsibility as my development and didn't get invited to the VI - the irony being the roles I have at work are all about taking personal responsibility.

    For those who progressed to the VI portion of Latham's application, what were your top strengths and your professional development points?

    It was yes! The interview was a pleasant experience. Every person I meet from BCLP, whatever seniority, just seems so positive and friendly. It's nice to see the culture stated on the website playing out in practice.

    Has anyone undertaken their Clyde & Co VI yet? Just interested to know if it's quick fire or whether it has unlimited prep time.

    I only heard back end of last week that I'd moved to interview stage so think you're still well within tolerance levels for applying!

    I think generally the advise is prose for nearly all firms but sorry I don’t actually remember their personal feelings on this

    London or Bristol?
  18. J

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    Yeah, I get you, at the OD, they mentioned up to 8 trainees in Bristol. Perhaps they're expanding it for this year, as Bristol is growing in headcount, and might have more capacity for trainees? Or it's just how it lands between the two offices based on the standard of candidates
