Applying to TC and VS both?

[LaoTzu]

Hi, I am applying to direct TCs for 2026 at the following firms
kirkland
skkaden
slaughter and may
latham
linklaters
Clifford chance
goodwin
allen and ovary

Some of those firms also have their applications offer for the 2024 vacation scheme, can I apply to both or i need to apply to either one of them?
Kindly help me out

It's generally one or the other. If you check the FAQ (frequently asked questions) sections, it usually states it there.

If it helps, just from some events I have attended - for the two firms below:

kirkland

Predominantly recruit from their vacation scheme. The firm has in the past - I am unsure if they still do it now - offered all the TC places to vacation scheme students and then just did not proceed with anyone else. Again, not sure if this is still the case!

skkaden

Recruit only from their vacation scheme.

I understand this, but can I apply to the TC 2026 if I am applying to the VS 2024?, or should I just stick with the VS and dith the TC application

I think you can apply to the VS and then if you do not get through, ask graduate recruitment if you can apply for a TC but they do not recommend it especially if nothing changed in your circumstances!
