    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    I was in the exact same position last year and now have 3 TC offers with some very tough decisions to make! I think getting rejected like that is tough, but it all sounds very positive so reflect honestly on your feedback and stay persistent with it. Sounds like you are still relatively early in...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Hi all, I'm currently reading 21 lessons for the 21st century by Yuval Noah Harari and there's a really interesting discussion on the future of work in light of developments in technology and the cognitive power of AI as well as some useful geopolitical insights and opinions on where humans are...

    Thank you! Yeah there were definitely a few reasons for last year's post-VS rejection so I'll go through them here: - The main reason the firm gave was that I lacked office experience so basically although the feedback was positive, they could tell that I didn't really know what it would be...

    Dentons VS offer! Somehow that's 4 VS offers for this cycle now, after being gutted following a post-VS rejection last year I'm buzzing! I'm not an expert at all, but if anybody does have any questions then feel free to drop a message

    Anybody that has done the Mcquaig mental agility test, were you able to access full test papers for free? I can only find one free full test online and the paid ones are not cheap at all... Thanks!

    Yeah the test is scheduled for the day, but on their Open Day they seemed to say that it would be application form, 'mental agility' test and then an AC if you were successful in that

    From my experience that's a very good sign! A firm did the same to me and I ended up getting an AC invite almost straight after attending the open day 👍

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hi everyone, I've got an AC coming up and I wondered which resources you'd recommend to prepare, firstly in terms of getting a slightly different insight into the firm but also just to fill any potential gaps. So far I've looked at the firm website, Legal 500, Chambers Student, Legal Cheek, and...

    Commercial Awareness Discussion Thread

    Hi all, I've been reading that some companies are bypassing the traditional method of listing via an IPO and are instead listing via the SPAC route. I understand that at the time of listing SPACs have no business operations and are formed for the purpose of acquiring another company, but I'm...

    I did this test last year and found it incredibly tough and thought I'd have no chance of getting through. I ended up getting through and at the AC they just basically said that it's meant to challenge you, that's why they use it! So you've definitely got a chance
