TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[bella98]

i applied for the hogan lovells life off on the 4th and haven’t received anything after, should i email or wait a bit?

I applied on 27/09 and still haven't heard anything. Last year I had an assessment centre with them for the vac scheme, and I remember receiving the Watson Glaser more than a month after I had submitted my application. For now, I'm just waiting...

Has anybody applied to RWK Goodman? If so could you tell me the email address for grad recruitment? I can’t submit my app because I need to verify my email address, but when I request a link to do so I never receive one through the automated system setup.

Hi! Does anyone have any experience with completing the CMS WG test, and would be happy to provide any tips? When I use practice tests, I usually do quite well on them but when doing specific firm ones, my scores are not very high.

Anyone have any tips on key areas to discuss for Freshfields personal statement. Am thinking of focusing on (1) cross-border expertise with focus on success in US market, (2) cross-functionality of corporate and litigation practices, and (3) uniqueness of training programme?
