    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Just an FYI on A&O- I just called them to check my application and SJT which I completed on 16th September. I hadn't received a confirmation email after completing the test and the grad rec confirmed that I had completed it and I was just waiting to be reviewed. So don't panic yet- there's still...

    Just a word of advice- I submitted by app today and haven't received the test yet, and in order to be considered you must have done both the app AND the test before the deadline !!! So I would submit ASAP, if possible.

    Apparently one person has but apart from that I think it is radio silence for most!

    Moreover, the firm’s breadth of expertise would allow me the freedom to discover where I want to specialise, whilst providing certainty that I would qualify into a market-leading practice regardless of my final choice. I am going round and round in circles on this grammar for this sentence...

    I am currently constructing my plan for my 'interesting topic' for HSF's application and I am planning to discuss FGM.

    Anyone have any tips for the Simmons & Simmons SJT. I did it last year and found it one of the worst ones yet. I know that having a list of competencies the firm looks for and remaining consistent in your answers are key but just interested to see if anyone has any further tips?

    If A&O are non-rolling they really should have updated their website, its really frustrating to not have this information before planning your schedule for applications... So annoying!
