    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Thank you so much! I have tried to avoid VS where possible as I work in a big 4 consulting firm, it is not a conflict of interest but I just know my request to take unpaid leave and do the scheme would be rejected in an instant and I feel them even knowing would impact my role and career...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    I don’t think we will hear for a while, the SJT has a benchmark you need to meet and if you do they will ‘read your application in detail’ they’ve probably only just started reading them now

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Does anyone know for AG if you can be considered for a direct TC if successful at the AC? The app name is 2025 Placement Scheme / 2027 Training Contract / Graduate Solicitor Apprenticeship so I am assuming (praying there is that possibility). Is it worth asking their recruitment?

    You could email their grad rec if you have any extenuating circumstances and see what they say but I think they’ll only make exceptions in extreme instances my other advice would be I know it’s hard as you will have spent so much time on the application but use this as a learning opportunity...

    Quite often grad rec or partners tell you to reapply if they liked you, maybe this happened here

    Probably not? More like shoosmiths but with more sections and content to cover plus you don’t get a report! No it isn’t recorded but you have to confirm you will complete independently

    3/6 of the sections but in terms of content not much maybe 20%

    No it isn’t timed, it says on the email the test is untimed but be prepared to set aside 60 minutes

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    I’ve done it, it’s okay but definitely takes longer than 60 minutes, there’s so many different sections and a lot to do
