TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Hey everyone, I have been given the options to choose practice areas for my vacation scheme. I wanted to know how I should weigh the following factors (apart from personal interest) in my choices:
- complexity of tasks in practice area
- business need in the practice area (if its one that they dont do much work in, maybe i should not choose it ?)

And any general advice you have for me when choosing! Thank you!
