TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[maymays]

I’ve got one too. I wonder if it’s to do with location? I’m in the midlands so I imagine they want to make it easier for ppl close to the office (London) then again, it quicker for me to come in than someone else who lives in SE/SW London. But I digress.

Congrats tho! I’m making a list of questions so if you want to discuss making some it would be great

I would love that! 😁

any recent W&C VIs?

 

[LawLawLawLawLaw]

Is anyone else still waiting on a reply from Sidley Austin about their WVS? Submitted in September and heard nothing since - at what point is it a rejection?

 

[ayiiii05]

has anyone had an ashurst wvs rejection?

It's honestly annoying how they've already rejected people but haven't informed them. I don't like that firms/companies do this, just send me your silly generic rejection email, it's not like they personalise each email anyway.

Has anyone heard from Sidley Austin's (SUMMER VACATION SCHEME)?

 

[shana]

I need advice, please.

I've just received a Linklaters AC invite for the winter vac scheme. The problem is that around 10 pm last night, I had to go to the hospital for a severe dog bite injury on my right hand. It's expected to heal around the day of the AC, but this has drastically affected my ability to prepare, as I'm right-handed.

Do I ask for additional time and adjustments? Should I request HR to postpone my interview and assessment day? I'm not sure if that's even possible, given the typically shorter time frame to get everything sorted for the winter vac scheme. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@F a v o u r Hope you're okay! Congrats on the AC invite.

Jessica has already responded, but could I just ask you when you completed all your online assessments? I'm just so anxious to hear from Linklaters and want to see when I could expect a reply.

Anyone done a White & Case VS VI - any tips? pls dm me

Weil Open Day!

Hi guys, do any of you have any insights on how detrimental being cut off during a VI is?

That should not be an issue. I cut out in Travers interview. They get that tech often fails. Some firms get Ds for Legal Tech. This is Legal Cheek survey data. Things not working =/= your fault. At least not all the time.

Hi, I completed the Capp assessment on the 4th Oct and the WG on the 5th. Hopefully you'll hear back soon.🤞
