TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

Status
Not open for further replies.
Can you apply to Hogan Lovells TC if you already applied to the vac scheme within the same cycle?
“If your vacation scheme application is unsuccessful, you will need to wait until the following year (from September 2024) to complete a training contract or another vacation scheme application.”

For anyone wondering, saw this on their website
 
Does anyone know what K&L Gates is expecting in the cover letter? Everything has pretty much been covered by the questions and I am struggling to figure out what to include.
@axelbeugre @Jessica Booker
The cover letter is optional. I’m not sure you’re supposed to actually do it. I wasn’t going to it personally.
 
Has anyone been able to find a list for Baker McKenzie's clients? One of their application questions involves knowing who their clients are but I can't find a list on their website, Chambers, Legal500 or Legal Cheek so I'm struggling rip!
For questions like this they are normally trying to get you to think about the types of clients at a firm. As for many firms they won’t be able to disclose their client list due to confidentiality.
I would suggest checking LinkedIn, twitter the firms insight pages and seeing what deals they have published. They will either refer directly to the client or the type of client so a major bank or maybe a big retailer.
From there you can then discuss the firms clients so for example Bakers represents bank so you can talk about what might effect banks and the type of work you could be expected to do etc (obviously this depends on the specific wording on the Q)

I just looked through their news page about recent deals/work, as those are their clients, I picked from there, looked up the client and found out more using things like LinkedIn
