TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Any AG updates? I haven’t yet heard back following VI.

Hey! I tried to find this info online but couldn’t. For the SH vac scheme, is the online assessment/VI the last stage or is there also an AC? Also based on previous years do we know when we may expect to hear back from the online assessment?

Hey! The online assessment/VI would be the last stage for the vac scheme. The AC would be held at the end of the vac scheme for a TC I believe

long awaited PFO this morning from AG, the way I hate that firm with a passion considering I got to the AC in my second cycle good riddance I will not be applying to them again hopefully a better firm is out there for me…

Thanks so much for the update! Could I ask how you found out about this? Did you reach out to them? Also is this for a specific office or is this the case for all of their offices? Thanks again!

Yes I spoke to head of recruitment! It’s for Bristol and Reading offices as they had their ACs last week. London will probably be the following week (admittedly didn’t ask as I’m Bristol based) but would likely follow the same time period post-AC. Which office are you applying to? 😊

Still nothing from Slaughters?

 

[adfs456]

Anyone heard back from Cooley yet post AC?

 

[elizabethkate]

is it cheeky to ask when we would hear back from AC if we have other offers like paralegal roles and such?

 

[MET21]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has heard back from Baker McKenzie following either the Spring or Summer assessment centres?

 

[radicaloptimist]

When do brand ambassador roles usually open up? I just got an email from my uni law society saying to start applying but I’ve looked up a few firms and I can’t see anywhere open yet?

Does anyone recon we may heard from SH today? They seem to have been quick and on it this cycle and the last from my understanding.

I think the deadline was yesterday so I doubt it maybe next week though or the week after

Yh I guess so - I just saw that last year VI offers were sent out like around the 11th and some VS offers were received by the 17th.

Hi had a teams meeting yesterday for some of my VI because I had a technical issue and they said to expect an answer in 2 to 3 weeks (might have been because I applied for summer though).

Oh wow okay - a bit of a wait then. Sorry to hear about your technical issues, I hope they’re all sorted now.

Is anyone still waiting to hear back from Hogan Lovells post job sim test?

 

[radicaloptimist]

Does anyone know is Brabers interactive assessment is automatic ?

Their email said “The next stage of the process is our interactive assessment, which is sent only to candidates who are successful at the initial screening stage. These will be issued in phases, so please don’t be discouraged if you know someone who has progressed and you haven’t heard from us yet - we may simply not have reached your application. A link will come to you via "Amberjack Assessment Platform", if you are progressed.” So I guess it means next stage! I just got my email progressing me to test too yayyy

The post-ac wait is just me reliving every embarrassing thing I did at the AC, reliving the partners' faces and cringing while I'm at work
Release me from this prison😂😭
