TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[kokoprep]

I attended a W&C Open Day in 2024 and also received a VI invite on 3rd Jan. It was my first ever VI, and I completed the VI on 6th Jan - I haven't heard back since. What does that normally mean? Rejection or waitlist?

Hey same

 

[studentdelaw786]

no worries, good luck!

Does anyone have any insights they can share regarding the CMS video interview? Would be greatly appreciated!

Addleshaw Goddard AC tips if anyone done it before I’d be appreciative, the email doesn’t state what it includes on the day.

When did you do your VI and when did they offer u an AC? Massive congrats btw

The firm gives an overview of the typical AC structure: https://earlycareers.addleshawgoddard.com/careers/placement-schemes-internships/

Hope that helps!

any W&C AC tips?

mine was online, the questions were much more chill than i thought they would be. very similar to VI but i think this depends on your partners. felt like a conversation.

written element required summarising and reading through several documents. you dont strictly need a lot of commercial awareness for it but if you get spooked by big legal terms maybe just going through definitions may help for confidence.

i was unsuccessful and did not receive any helpful/substantial feedback. as ACs come and go i thought this was the easiest one but then again i was unsuccessful so 😬. think they want super clarity and sharpness on your written element as my interview went quite well so make sure you double triple proof read.

Have people started to recieve them? They said they would send out this week , but have not seen anyone get an offer yet.

Is this for summer or spring?

honestly can't remember.. pretty sure I put both if that was an option

 

[traineedreamer]

Please feel free to private message me about this as this will very much be down to the adjustments you require rather than what others receive.

Thank you Jess, I sent a PM on the 9th but it may have gotten lost among other messages. Would you like me to send it again?

Hey, congrats! Just wanted to ask what scheme you applied to? Applied on the 3rd to the summer scheme so would like to know!

IIRC I just applied to London? The AC invite email states that I can state whether I'd prefer a Spring or Summer VS at AC : )

I received a PFO on Jan 16th, a few days after submitting the test. I applied on the deadline

I said I would like to attend an open day to learn how a firm's M&A stands out from the crowd. How can I develop this further @Amma Usman @Andrei Radu?

 

[Alaa]

Has anyone done the Eversheds AC and is waiting to hear back? I'm wondering how long they take to get back to candidates
