TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[pleasepleaseplease]

Any advice on approaching this question? I'm not sure what the best way to structure my answer would be.

Describe the personal life experiences that have given you the unique perspective you would bring as an insight scheme participant at Fieldfisher, and how this perspective will support your success. (800 characters)

Hi @Jessica Booker

Hope you're well and sorry to bother you on a Sunday but it would be great if you could provide any guidance on this. Thank you!

Anyone else here having a technical error popup on Taylor Wessing's form?

@Andrei Radu
Describe how you think the innovative developments taking place in the legal industry will change the role of a commercial lawyer at Dentons. Please outline your research and reference the sources you used to inform your opinion.

This is one of the application questions from the Dentons Application. How would you recommend structuring this answer? How many developments should we talk about and how should we reference the sources?

It was doing that for me as well, but I used an incognito tab and it worked!!

Has anyone done the Pinsent Masons blended assessment? If so, how many questions are there for the VI and how long do we have to prepare?

Thank you.

Why are firms like this

I changed devices and it didn’t fix it

Oh well idk.. I just know that it wasn't working even if I used different web browsers, but incognito worked so

I have graduated but still never had such a document.

Mine was issued electronically in my student portal for me to download. Also the university will email one once free of charge with a charge should I need it resent.

I see Eversheds Sutherland have the same application questions as last year (and I think going back a few years before too).

Is there any advice anywhere on how to approach these and what they are looking for? Given they’ve been the same for a few years I haven’t found much, and the firm doesn’t have a Chamber Students profile, for instance.

Thank you!

CMS VI was something lmaoo

Hi how much prep time is it? also how long after the WG did you receive the VI?

 

[jojo23]

Is it affecting submissions?

It doesn't let me on at all 😅

 

[abhuzaifa]

For people that done the DLA Piper VI, did you guys receive a confirmation email after submitting the VI ? And if so, how long after submitting the VI did you get a confirmation email ?

I got a regular certificate but never a full one.

Interesting

Hi - does anyone else only have the option to input one work experience example in the Osborne Clarke application? It won't let me add any.

I didn’t have this problem and could enter all my work experiences.
