TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Ideally, by when should Paul, Weiss be getting back to us for the Summer Scheme?

Another note on whether firms take into account mitigating circumstances: Cooley asked for ABB at A-level, but I got BCC. I also went to a non-RG uni and got a 2:1 and managed to progress to the second stage.

Any clue when Sidley will get back for their Summer scheme? I heard that they would get back by the beginning of March - can anyone please verify?

This is correct

Has anyone had a PFO from HFW?

I applied 27/11/25 with what I thought was a pretty decent application and it’s been radio silence since then but I know they are approaching ACs now. Anyone know if these are just for the Spring vac scheme or summer as well?

Just rest over 2 days after getting sick, now I am going back to work and see 10+ pages thread which found out Cooley just sent second batch of PFOs and WGs, now I wish they send the next batch next week at the latest as I just recovered from fever OMG.

Hope we'll hear back positively at the end of this month from these following firms:

Spring:
Cooley
Weil
Sidley Austin

Summer:
Taylor Wessing
Travers Smith
HSF Kramer
MoFo

DTC:
McDermott
Freshfields
Linklaters
Slaughter & May

For those who have heard back from Paul, Weiss - did you apply for Spring or Summer?

 

[LawAspirer]

For those that got Cooley WGs yesterday - is this for summer?
For those that got Cooley WGs last week - is that for spring?
