TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Should I assume PFO from Withers for Spring? Interviewed pre-Christmas and apparently some people already received offers.

Is it OK to refer to my notes (ie switching tabs) while preparing for a VI (before I hit "record") on Cappfinity? Does the firm log this/have issue with this?

@Abbie Whitlock (sorry will also go ahead and tag some people who i think might have a response?) @Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner @Jessica Pearson - Managing Director

Hello!

It's possible that firms might have different policies on this, but I've always done this when preparing for VIs with unlimited preparation time and it hasn't caused any issues (as far as I'm aware!). If you're still unsure, it might be worth reaching out to the graduate recruitment team to double-check, as I'm sure they'd be happy to confirm this for you

For BCLP, do they send you an email saying you've passed or fail the initial test? I got an email with my feedback report but it doesn't seem to have any indicator of passing / failing.

I've also applied to the Simmons Bristol office and I've not heard back yet. Pretty sure the Bristol office only does a Summer VS!

So does London. I’m anxious to hear!

Did anybody hear from Orrick for Spring Vac Scheme?

It’s non-rolling so probably not since the deadline is 31 January.
