TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24
- Thread starter Jessica Booker
- Start date
Same! Congrats. Do you know how they recruit for TCs? In my interview they did mention we still have to go through a normal AC for a TC, but on their website it says we are assessed on the VC. Slightly confusing.
Hey, I think they'll get back to you mid march. Depending on how far you have progressed with their application. What stage are you up to? I say this because I'm still at the Mills Reeve Online test stage for the 10kBi cohort. They said I should receive a reply by then because of "internal checks".
Hi all - I know this is an annoying problem to have but I currently have offers on contravening dates in July and unsure what firm to pick? Unsure if I can say firm names on here but would love to welcome any opinions or advice @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker and anyone on the forum! (also yes I have asked both if I could do the Spring dates and both have said no)
There's no problem in saying the firm names on here if you have offers
I think it's very difficult for anyone else to answer as it's such a personal question. I suppose it comes down to which firm more closely aligns with you and your career goals - their practice area strengths, international aspects, approach to training, or any other factors which are of personal importance. If you've done ACs in person, did you get a better feel for one firm or the other?
I guess there is the approach of trying to go with the one you think it'll be "easier" to convert into a TC but, again, there are no guarantees involved in the process.
It's extremely cliché, but I would just follow your gut; whichever firm you have a better feel for or you're more excited about, I'd go with that one. You're in a very enviable position though so congratulations!
Has anyone heard back from Mofo and or/ Gibson Dunn since applying in (late) December? Feels like i've been ghosted by them 😂
Who else is waiting to hear from Ashurst? (Summer vac scheme)
Hi, thanks, that’s helpful to know. I’ve done the online test and now I’m just waiting to hear whether I’ve been invited to an AC
Still haven't heard back from Milbank post AC so assuming PFO as people were given offers at the end of the week before last. Really do want that feedback though so is it reasonable to send them a brief email? My AC was on the 22nd of January and they said we'd get feedback in a 'couple of weeks'.

Go with the firm you most want to work for. People will say you need to consider the chances of converting to a TC too, and that is something to consider in cases where it’s difficult for you to distinguish a preference between the two.
A vacation scheme is an open door to be considered carefully for a TC, and turning a firm down that you have a clear preference for is the easiest way of closing that door.
All the best and fingers crossed bro. I'm sure you've done well enough. They're some really good firms to be noticed by.
Can AG and Mishcon put me out of my post app misery…please it’s cruel at this point 🫠
Has anyone heard back from Foot Anstey?
I'm pretty sure we're all doing it on the same week icl but if anyone's done it from year before I'd appreciate it😁
Travers will probs get back to you around March time. They called me to schedule an interview at the start of March in 2023
Thanks! This will stop me keeping my phone on loud in anticipation for a while lol 😅😂
