TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Just realised it’s Friday…

Anyone know if ACs have been sent for Clyde & Co, NRF, Links, and SH? These are my last hope but it’s not looking good :/
I know NRF and Linklaters have sent ACs out and I’ve seen Summer VS offer(s) for Linklaters. I don’t think SH sent SJT and VIs yet and I believe their AC is during the actual VS itself not before it?

Their deadline for apps closed around a week ago so I reckon you have a shot for them! Clyde & Co seem to have only sent Spring ACs from the posts I’ve seen on the forum so far but idk for sure.​

Not today afaik re C&C. Last week was a few virtual clyde & co, they will have more ACs - somebody on the forum emailed them and they said everything will be communicated by the end of next week. They haven't had time to review all the applications yet as they were swamped.
