TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[dr579]

I'm planning to apply for some firms which recruit on a rolling basis, like White & Case. A number of them offer open days but these occur closer to the Vacation Scheme deadline. Should I delay my application until/if attending the Open Day or should my priority be to apply to the Vacation Scheme ASAP?

If you were a Trainee Solicitor at Baker McKenzie, where would you want to go on secondment and why? (this may be client specific, country specific, or both) (300 words max) *


Hey! I have decided to go for the country-specific option, and I was wondering if it would be worth mentioning a specific country & practice area, or should I aim to keep it general?

Thank you in advance!

I think you should focus on a practice area and then choose a country accordingly where the practice area is doing well (I had spoken to trainees and this is something I had asked them)
