TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[Legallylinked]

Has anyone heard from Macfarlanes for the AC yet?

 

[yk1906]

Anyone invited to Freshfields AC?

 

[nosnehpets]

Did mine on the 5th and haven’t heard back either, have they even started sending out AC invites?

Yes they have started - unclear when they'll stop sending invites though

 

[BillSikes]

Is the Eversheds Sutherland Vac Scheme not open to final year students? It reads: We welcome applications from penultimate year law under-graduates, final year non-law graduates as well as candidates who've already graduated or taken different career paths.

Is this them excluding final year law students but letting everyone else have at it?

They never hire from direct TC so must be open for everyone

Anyone invited to Freshfields AC?

Any advice on the second stage questions? Were they more strength-based or freshfield and commerical related?
