    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Is it worth contacting a firm to check for updates after the final-round interview? It’s been a little over a month. I always think that they’ll contact me once they know the outcome, so there’s little reason to check in. A small part of me is still feeling a little restless though. Do firms...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    How do people prepare for a video interview if you have no clue how long you get to answer each question, because you can’t time yourself as a way to practice? I always struggle with the timing and either run out of time, or find myself with too much time left…

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    For mine, they didn’t really mind either. Worth noting that for individual exercises like case studies, you often have many tabs open since there are a lot of docs to get through, so I find it easier to take notes on paper. It might be easier to type your notes for group exercises. If you...

    Anyone heard back from Linklaters for their international TCs?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Depending on the firm, what the question was, and how badly you messed it up. If it makes you feel better, I also messed up a few questions during my AC and this was confirmed in my post-AC feedback, where the grad recruiter listed some questions that I also felt like I had answered badly...

    Thank you. And can I check whether it is okay to mostly rely on bullet points? Or would you personally recommend us to write in prose?

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, I hope you are well. For case studies during ACs, if we are advised to raise and summarise some legal/commercial issues to the partner in an email, are we expected to also offer some potential solutions or next-steps? I am tempted to offer suggestions on how to proceed, but I do not...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Hi Jessica, thanks for getting back to me. I meant that I do have access to the private chat and office hours for gold-members only. However, I currently do not have access to the actual premium forum. Sorry for the confusion.

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Hello @Jessica Booker and @Jaysen, I am sorry to bother you but could I please be granted access to the premium forum? My AC is soon and I would like the chance to access the resources. I joined Premium on Friday and I was granted access to the premium gold forum yesterday. Thanks!

    Honestly, I still have no clue how the Capp test works. I always try to be authentic with my answers, but also being mindful of the qualities Linklaters value. If it helps, my highest attributes were: leadership preference and working with others. My lowest was motivation. It’s hard to decipher...

    Hello. I was in the 98 percentile and was progressed (it was one of the international TCs though). I was in the 99 percentile last year and was rejected. I also know people in the 70 percentile but were progressed. I personally don’t think the WG plays THAT much of a role.

    I applied to Linklater's China-London TC and was invited to an interview to test my mandarin skills, but I don't really know what to expect or how to prepare. Has anyone else attended this, or anything similar? I'm unsure whether it is an actual language test, or a normal HR/competency interview...
