    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I reckon it is fine, I would not worry too much, in my opinion it does answer the question and it shows your interests and that you also did your research on the firm!

    Work Experience Section Query

    Hey @laby201, I would definitely include your university's pro bono clinic in the work experience section as its own experience as that will absolutely be of interest to recruiters. As already said by someone in the thread, I would add all the open days/insight days etc into one section and all...

    MoFO eligibility

    I think it might suggest a disadvantage but I am not really sure. I think that the best thing is to reach out to future trainees on LinkedIn and ask them directly as I think they will be able to tell you more about this.

    Vacation scheme for international students with no graduate visa

    Hey @paulzhou99, I am so sorry for your situation and being an international student myself I can understand the struggle with visa and vacation scheme applications. Unfortunately, I am afraid law firms will not allow you to do any vacation schemes if you do not have a student visa or a right to...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Whenever approaching questions like this, I always made sure I was targeting a practice group that was very strong at the firm, to show my interest in that particular field and the firm itself. I think they mean technology group, white collar crime group, life sciences group, I remember that...

    Becoming more and more worried about commercial awareness

    Hey @laby201, I totally understand your concerns and I was in your same shoes last year when I was applying for my same cycle, being even confused about the meaning of commercial awareness altogether. I think that something that really helped me at the beginning of my journey was starting with...

    VS Application Strategy for international students

    I personally believe that you have plenty of chances of getting a vacation scheme offer! There are many firms out there that accept BBB or accept extenuating circumstances (if you have any) so I think you should not be discouraged by that. I myself am an international student who applied for...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I think that it will depend on which subjects the lower grades are in. However, I would not let this discourage you as law firms are more and more trying to utilise an holistic approach to their application review procedures and I honestly think that, as long as, you graduated with a 2.1 you are...

    Allen & Overy Winter Vacation Scheme 2024

    Congratulations! Massive achievement!! In terms of general tips I would say to know the firm inside and out: be very aware of the deals, clients, practice areas they excel at and specialise in, that will give you an advantage in case you have a written case study or something along those...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Hey @NJS, whenever I was researching firms I used a template that looked at these different aspects: Practice Areas: Determine whether the law firm specialises in the specific area of law that matches your interests. Reputation and Track Record: Research the firm's reputation by checking...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    all my Acs were virtual so I've never experienced an AC in person (apart from my TC interview during my vacation scheme which was in person). From my experience, as long as you are true to yourself and you speak your truth and you are a confident and nice person, you will build a rapport with...
