    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Hey, I was wondering if any of you are in a similar position. I am in my final year and have been (though still have a few applications left) been unable to secure either a VS or a TC. I was wondering what everyone's plans are for after studying if they are unable to secure anything in this cycle.

    May be overthinking this, Travers Smith ask within their application If a direct process for a training contract was a possibility would you prefer to take this route rather than attend a scheme? Just wondering why this is? Would they offer you the possibility of a direct training contract...
