    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hi, To anyone that can help please maybe @Andrei Radu or @Amma Usman. I have my first AC coming up and I’m trying to research deals from the firm. Should I focus on deals from the same area or a wider range please?

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Does anyone know of any firms that encourage a direct TC app without a previous vac scheme? Vac scheme deadlines are coming up and if I’m not successful I’m hoping to make direct TC apps but most grad recs say they want more legal experience.

    Hey, this is a really valid feeling. I expressed the same sentiment to my friend (an associate at an MC firm) and she said even she had felt the same during the app stage. Taking a break will definitely help clear your head but don’t give up. You can definitely do this!!!

    Someone got a VI today, so I think they’ll follow last year’s format and AC invites will come after the Christmas break. Especially as they’re non rolling, I think they’re waiting to receive all VIs??Fingers crossed for good news 🤞

    The test is not automatic so you may expect to wait at least a week if they have a number of applications. Hope you hear back soon.

    Hi @Amma Usman thank you for posting these, it’s really insightful. I’m currently completing the TCLA courses on M&A,PE and Case Studies but I still feel very far away from your answer. What advice would you give to get to this level please? Is there a structure you follow at all please...

    No it’s not. They review your application first and send out the WG if they want you to move on. I receive a PFO after application last week.
