    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    Depends on if I was set on one firm and they offered me a TC. If I was even slightly uncertain I would do as many as I could. I've worked full time before so I'd be down for back to back vac schemes & auditioning the firm.

    I kind of want to message Debevoise because I'm guessing if I didn't get an open day invite, it was a PFO. I hate that they just don't send out messages about it.

    That would be great because I added in bits about myself and also about the firm's deals. LMAO

    I sent them an email - you should too. Hopefully if enough of us complain, they'll grant an extension.

    Cliched but it is amazing to even get to an AC. You have that experience under your belt so defo don't feel shame. Work through that disappointment, ask for feedback, and apply it to what you have to do next.

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    I want to do some DTC application but I am very aware of the fact that I have never done a VS and I don't have much legal work experience. At the moment, I am working on both but would that necessarily be a deal breaker for firms?
