Does anyone know how many of Farrer & CO’s vac scheme places transfer to training contracts? I know legal cheek says 12 and I remember grad rec saying they recruit 13 but they didn’t specify if that was for vac schemes only or that figure was direct tc and vac scheme combined

    The trainee numbers are usually all vac schemes + direct TC conversions combined.

    Hello everyone I was joking… Shoosmiths have not got back yet👍❤️
    this is such a strange and unhealthy thing to 'joke' about tbh - especially given how people are really anxious when waiting for an outcome after having spent weeks applying/interviewing... it only adds to people's post-application/outcome anxiety...

    Dear forum members… I sincerely apologise for my joke. I regret it. I will delete my tcla account later today as retribution. I do not deserve to be on this platform. I wish you all the best.
    It's okay mate, I think your apology will suffice for everyone. You don't need to delete your account and it would be a shame if you did so.

    Out of interest, has anyone doing the Linklaters summer vac scheme heard back about which of the dates they'll be attending? I haven't heard anything since expressing my preferences last month, so wanted to check that I hadn't missed anything! It would be helpful to hear soon from a planning perspective.
    I think they are most probably focusing their attention on the upcoming spring vacation scheme.

    Hey it is all good, no need to delete your account! you have sincerely apologised and have clearly reflected on it - no need to dwell on it further!

    There is no need to do that. Please continue posting and benefitting from the wider TCLA community. Just be mindful that attempts of humour like this can trigger anxiety or worry in others as they wait to hear back from a firm. Therefore it's best to avoid joking about receiving offers if this is not the case.

    Humour is very much welcomed here but it is important to think about how presenting false information might be perceived (it isn't obvious it is a joke) and also how it contributes to the integrity of the information shared by the community.
