TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

@Amma Usman @Andrei Radu @Ram Sabaratnam Hi! This is one of the application questions from the Weil VS Application. Just wanted to know how would you recommend structuring this answer and also researching about their clients? Thank you so much!

Think of a current commercial issue that has recently attracted your attention. Why does it interest you, why do you consider it to be significant and how do you think this will impact Weil's clients? (200)

Post VI. I heard some AC's were already being held, so I was expecting this PFO.

Does anyone have insight into Baker's test? Is it closer to an SJT or WG? Any tips on how to succeed?

“Cooley's London office does not assess applications on a rolling basis. However, they do review applications and shortlisting may begin just ahead of the deadline.”
