    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hi! I was just wondering what everybody’s personal thoughts and opinions are on this: If you have got upcoming VSs, are you still applying to DTCs to hedge your bets or do you prefer to focus on preparing for and converting your VSs (and take some rest from applications as well)?

    I’d reach out to relevant people in those firms (trainees, associates…depending on which questions you would want to ask them) on LinkedIn and schedule quick calls to find out more about the things that are less publicised

    Hi! In terms of paid services, I would personally recommend the TCLA Accelerator Programme. There's actually a webinar about converting VS with TCLA future trainees tonight at 6pm – I think it might be recorded and accessible even if you sign up to TCLA Accelerator later.

    If I am not wrong, BCLP and Dentons are examples of firms that recruit on a rolling basis for their DTC

    Speaking of Vacation Scheme dress codes, I was wondering if for female attire a blazer would generally be expected every day? Or is there sometimes more flexibility (smart trousers + business casual knitwear for instance)?

    I don't know if my approach is a good approach but I personally request to connect (with a personalised note) once I have received and accepted an offer with the firm, I then share the good news with my interviewers. To me it feels more natural that way if that makes sense hahah but I genuinely...

    Thank you! I am a Gold member, however I am unsure about how to access the relevant resources and support (for Path 1), including upcoming live sessions and the Guide. If possible, could you please provide further guidance? (Or perhaps the programme has not quite started yet?) Many thanks!

    Thank you for your insights. Do you then think that selling AC insights for instance could be problematic? (If somehow firms were to find out which candidates have done so)

    Personally, I have had a very positive experience with TCLA Premium Gold. I’ve secured 3 VS at MC/Silver Circle firms (this is my first application cycle and those VS offers resulted from my first three ACs), and I genuinely believe that this wouldn’t have been possible without TCLA Premium and...

    Does anyone know what Slaughter and May tends to ask the reference we have provided? Eg very detailed information about us or just a formality/administrative verification?

    Thank you for your explanations — I hadn’t thought about needing a NI number at all 😅 otherwise I would have applied for it much earlier. I was just too focused on getting the actual job/internship haha Thus, I am sure this post will be very useful for international students who might have been...
