TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[Legal Wizard]

Hi 👋 Anyone done the Morgan Lewis telephone interview? Please PM me

I’m about to start my vacation scheme tomorrow and I thought I would pop onto here to say a few words. Firstly I really appreciate everyone here on the forum for all the support and advice I’ve received that have helped me so far in this application cycle.

I’m feeling very nervous and excited at the same time which I’m sure a lot of people can relate to. It’s important to remind yourself that you earned your place to be here as much as anyone else. I just wanted to wish anyone else who is also starting their internship soon lots of luck and success! Best of luck to everybody!

Hi all, what are some firms that have a strong real estate practice other than BCLP and CRS? Thank you

Hiya @emma.d

You may also want to look into firms such as Forsters and Trowers & Hamlins. Also, Chambers UK does a great job of ranking the leaders in this specific area. I would look at these two rankings in particular, which can be found here and here. I should note that these rankings are more transactionally focussed. Their real estate litigation rankings can be found here. Hope this helps!

[linkedinwarrior245]

Hi guys! Does anyone have any advice on how to stay motivated on a vacation scheme after just having completed others?

@Jaysen Hi jaysen! has the TCLA session with Paul from Paul Weiss been taken down?

Not Jaysen, but I recently checked the session that TCLA had with Paul Weiss; it is still listed in the law firm directory.

For Manchester they said it would be Thursday or Friday this week I believe, don’t know if it’s the same for the other offices
