TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

[Sunshinepink]

I would highlight 3 reasons why you are making that decision:

• Is it because of the diverse clients the region has to offer?
• Is it because of the practice area you are interested in which is well positioned in the region compared to others?
• Is it because of the nature of the the deals and cases that region deals with?

These are some of the things I would consider and potentially discuss.

Thank you so much, this is really helpful!

Focus on the differences/uniqueness of that location compared to other locations you could choose, and explain why those elements align to your particular motivations or interests.

Okay, thank you so much. This is great!

For those waiting for Dentons I just had a call with GR and they said they take time to give people AC because they review applications in stages. So those waiting still be hopeful. Also once you’ve done the AC you hear back in a week

Hey, would you happen to know if they are doing ACs separately for direct TCs? I know people have been invited to their AC for the vac scheme, but heard nothing regarding direct TCs

When you're asked how a firm stands out from its competitors, should you generally take the angle of your personal perspective or from a client's perspective?

I think its more of a commercial question. So how they are competitive compared to other law firms

This is what it said in the virtual interview invite,

'We have not yet set the dates for our Summer Programme (and typically do this in collaboration with those who are offered places) but anticipate the programme(s) to run sometime in the window 17 June to 12 July 2024. Please let us know if you have unavoidable conflicts around this time.'
