    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hey! I've not been on this forum for a while so apologies if this has been repeated a lot recently but I just got a VI invite from White & Case for the summer scheme and I was wondering if anyone had any insight into what type of questions to expect?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Just realised I got a Hogan Lovells AC invite yesterday but my email filtered it out. The email says to choose the earliest slot possible because they recruit on a rolling basis but when I clicked on the link, the earliest one they had was March 2. Anyone know when their ACs start/started?

    By some miracle, after this car crash interview and only getting through 2 out of the 10 pages in the document review exercise, I just got a vac scheme offer from Baker McKenzie!! I really wasn't expecting that, I guess I'll take this as another reminder not to count myself out before I...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I just got a vac scheme offer from BCLP!! I really wasn't expecting that, I thought I'd completely messed up the AC! As a side note, I still have quite a few messages to get through about CMS, Baker McKenzie, and BCLP ACs - I promise I'll get back to you at some point today, I've just had a...

    Welcome to the TCLA Forum Version 2.0!

    Oh that's interesting! I don't have the "post thread" or "follow" options at the top of the thread, I only have one button on the top right that says "reply". When I go to the forum page more generally, it already says I'm not following any of the threads

    Welcome to the TCLA Forum Version 2.0!

    Hey! This might be a stupid question but how do you unwatch a thread on the new forum? I can't seem to find the "unwatch thread" button in the top right corner of the screen anymore

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hahaha it's not pretty. I was presenting my solution to possible risk of litigation in an acquisition as part of my case study answer and got flustered and couldn't find the right words to describe what warranties/indemnities would do in this situation, so naturally, my genius brain thought the...

    I'm currently mentally replaying the moment I said "fucking" out of nowhere in my partner interview earlier today, I have no idea how that happened. This is definitely going to haunt me every time I try to fall asleep for the next few weeks On the bright side, I got a Macfarlanes AC invite...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Does anyone know when Hogan Lovells will start holding assessment centres? They recruit on a rolling basis but their deadline was 2 weeks ago and I still haven't seen anyone get an AC invite despite having a few batches of rejection emails. I thought we'd most likely hear back by mid-January if...

    Hey, thank you for your questions! In terms of format, the case study presentation was verbal, so there was no written response involved. As for how it's structured, that will be quite clear from the instructions. For example, some case studies will ask you to just provide a summary of the key...
