TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[aliiiisonxooox]

Is this scenario have you done the sqe already? If not the you’d either be waiting until 2027 already or doing it at the same time as working. Or have I misunderstood?

Yes, I have done it already ☺️ so that’s why I’m like I don’t know what to do. Now I pray I’m lucky enough to get both and actually have that luck to make such a big hard decision. We’ll find out in the following weeks! But yeah

does anyone have any idea of how many trainees fieldfisher takes on and how many trainees they take on from their vac scheme?

Have Links sent out all Summer AC invites?

Oh no whats the deal with the Fieldfisher hate?😭

Sending holding emails to all candidates with poor attention to detail of CRM:
Subject: %Vacancy Title%
Dear %applicant name%

For over 2 months and all got PFOs

i spoke to HR and they said it varies year on year depending on business need so no set number

Hey everyone! I'm looking into potentially self-funding the PGDL. Wondering peoples thoughts on ULaw v BPP and also if anyone has any experience of doing it online?

 

[lawstudent2]

Has anyone received AC feedback from Weil yet? They told me that it would be this week and I have another AC at the start of next week that I want the feedback for, but I haven't heard anything. I don't know if I should chase it or not.

 

[Unknowncabbage]

Has anyone who did Latham AC last week heard back?

It's cos I chased them for it then haha
I wanted it last week for another AC but they said that they didn't have time and that they would get back in contact this week and I have heard nothing at all
Don't want to be too annoying but also I do want the feedback if possible

For those that passed the WBD test (firstly, congratulations!!) could you tell us your two strengths & one development area?

My two strengths were quality focus and resilience, and my top dev area was agility

Hey guys, so I got the Withers proofreading task (yay a progression!).

I was scarred from the Hogan Lovells one because I am a chronic overthinker and English is not my first language (I write based off vibes not grammar rules).

Does anyone have any tips on how to do well in one of these? Because I tend to overthink and presume there's a mistake when there may not be one just because idk they should have used a semicolon instead of a comma (again I make these decisions usually on vibes so I don't actually know when you should use a semicolon 😭). Or another example is whether these exercises tend to follow the Oxford Comma or not (as in I should correct if there isn't a comma before the and)?

Any advice would be appreciated 🫶

 

[loaf]

You don't get an email confirmation after Dechert WE right..? The system was slightly confusing😭 got me worried now

 

[Morris123]

Does anyone have anything tips on what to expect for the Hogan Lovells Online Immersive Assessment? Thanks
