    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    @LillyandSilver Jessica is right! VS doesn’t not give TC interview. I still have to do a TC application although I have a VS there. If you’re successful on VS you’re fast tracked to 2nd interview. But realistically it’s a free for all. Put an application in!!

    From Campus to Cubicle: Miss Piggy's Journey 🐽

    This was soo me last year! I didn’t apply to any VS or TC things as I had a grad job but I knew I wanted to go into law. In My head I saw myself as more valuable if I were to to work and then apply as I can apply myself more and I’d have more competency answers. I feel like applying as a...

    Spontaneous TC Journey

    Hey thanks for this it is super helpful! I didn't want to do an LLM to secure a TC . But because during my undergrad i took a joint honours and wasn't able to choose any optional modules in other areas so i am limited in terms of different practices within law and wanted to explore other...

    Thank you both for your advice it’s super helpful! i particular want to do life sciences but the uni allows for optional modules in IP and tech so would taking these to not fully close myself off to just a few firms be a good idea? random one but I saw a good theory/science based msc at...

    @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre or anyone Is it worth taking an LLM in medical law/ethics? (RG university) I’m weighing up applying for a masters in this area as I am keen in to know more life sciences and medicine. Or would I be worth taking a msc in something sciences related? I didn’t take any...

    When answering this question: Choose one of our clients and explain a challenge they are currently facing. What could the organisation do to overcome this challenge and how could we assist? Would i speak about a specific client or what clients within a certain sector would face?

    ahh i see that's great they helped!! I don't work within law (I have a grad job) so to them me going elsewhere would not make any sense whatsoever. My manager struggled to give me 1 day off with my own annual leave for an AC 😂 they're soo supportive as you can see haha

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Yeah I am currently battling this situation. I'd say it is harder to apply to firms when working full time as opposed to being at uni so to make it far in the process and be shut down at the end is super humbling. Weighing up the risk of losing my current job for a protentional not even certain...

    I did post AC and interview they all replied back. When I followed up with one partner they were happy to speak to me and answered further questions I had about their experience and the firm culture. I was able to find out info that wasn’t even published and how the firm goes above and beyond...
