TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[hopefulfuturesolicitor97]

People who attended the TLT Spring VS - any advice? What was the process like and have you heard about TC positions already?

 

[Zaidoz10]

Never thought of this but are summer vac schemes in the UAE for example open to students from the UK?

Yes.

Has anyone done the Mayer Brown AC? I have one this upcoming Friday and I have no clue as to how to prepare for a fact find exercise or the group exercise

[milliejeyes]

Does anyone know the last AC date for WBD London office?

Any update on this @Jaysen

Unfortunately we're only involved in raising awareness of the opportunity, but I have just spoken to Jo. She said:

"All candidates should have received an automated response to state that if they had not heard back from us, we could not reply to everybody individually.

All shortlisted candidates have now been contacted and interviews start tomorrow through until next Tuesday. We will have a roundup on Wednesday and decisions will be made at that time. Successful candidates will be contacted shortly afterwards. We had over 200 applicants this year, so as you can imagine it would be difficult to respond to everybody."

Which office?

For the Bristol office

Anyone heard from Shoosmiths Direct TC recently

I have an assessment centre for a summer vacation scheme, however the first week overlaps with another vacation scheme which I have already accepted my place for. Therefore if I was to get the offer for the second scheme, I would only be able to attend week 2, or would have to ask to be considered for a direct training contract (is this something a firm will consider?). At what point do I tell the second firm that I already have a vac scheme overlapping with theirs? Do I wait to see if I get an offer and them tell them? @Jessica Booker do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you so much!

Just got a Mishcon final stage interview invite! Any advice would be super appreciated!

At this stage, I’d wait to get an update and then speak to them about it if you were to get an offer.

Has anyone heard from W&C post-ac recently?

My AC was almost 4 weeks ago and I haven’t heard anything.

It’s more reassuring that everyone else is in the same position, but when they said 1-2 weeks, it’s really frustrating. More so because I have to book accommodation and it’s only around a month away and worried it’s going to be more expensive.

Just wish we could hear now

I wouldn't have a clue, unfortunately.
