TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[James Wakefield]

Is it ok/common to accept a TC offer and then do another VS/TC interview at another firm? + should I tell the second firm that I alr have an accepted TC offer

Worth looking at the terms of your offer letter for the second VS. If it doesn't say anything about accepting a TC elsewhere, you'll be fine to do the scheme I believe.

Hi!
I have a Browne Jacobson TI coming up and I was just wondering if anyone has any tips? I am a non-law final year student and this is my first interview with a law firm! I am really excited, but any tips would be massively appreciated!
(for context it is a 15 minute interview and they say it's to understand our commitment and motivation as well as assess a number of attributes)

Does that mean it's a PFO for the rest of us?

Anyone heard from Brabners yet?

I haven't

I wouldn’t assume so just yet! They might have not started getting back to the office you have applied to and apps just closed on 1 march ( i have only seen one person on the thread hear back i guess)
Best of luck!

Just curious, has Sidley made any post-AC Summer Vac Scheme offers? Had a Spring/Summer AC and wondering if the firm is sorting out Spring first before giving Summer offers

I'm wondering the same thing! Don't know if I should reach out and ask or not

Any Paul, Weiss VS offers today?

 

[thelawstudent]

Any nrf offers come out?

I would love to be proven wrong, but I feel at this point they are just working on crafting a nicely worded PFO email and maybe setting up a feedback call booking system. I really doubt there are any more VS places available

London, you?

[YW113380]

Is anyone else still waiting to hear back from Sidley post-app?

 

[allenpopi]

Guys i need help. I signed a contract for a vac scheme in the summer but now another firm got back to me and dates overlap.

Do you think it's possible to ask to be considered for a direct tc?

 

[fairbourne]
