TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

sup, what do you do if a firm agreed to give feedback over post-ac (which took place a month ago), but since hasn’t followed through, and has ignored chasing emails in the past week, this firm only holds summer vac schemes so beyond onboarding new trainees who passed their SQE exams, is something else taking up GR’s time? 😀 I don’t want to be presumptive and appreciate that giving feedback takes a while, often they have other responsibilites like taking care of trainees, but equally this is their job and something that was explicitly stated in the email as something that would be provided, so I am equally confused😛🌷

on a side note I love how supportive and positive everyone in this community has been through what we can all agree on is a very intense process🫶

Hi Abbie (and anyone who is willing to offer advice here) - I have a final interview with W&C coming up and I've been struggling with answering 'why W&C' especially wrt their practice areas. They're not the strongest in M&A/PE but DCM/IA and my real interest lies in PE. I'm not too enthusiastic about being inauthentic but I'm very unsure of how to link my strengths/previous WE in PE to W&C(??) and was hoping I could get some advice - thanks so much!

It’s cliche but really stress the internationality of the deals, the firms offices, guaranteed secondment, TC if you haven’t already, I heard this from an acquaintance who has a TC there. good luck!

Anyone know if Browne Jacobson written questions have a word count - they are long!

They don't show you the word count as you type (which is annoying!) but they stop you from typing any more if you hit the word count. Idk how many words it is - I think around 500 but not sure!
