TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

[legallawyer]

Hope everyone's having a great start to the week! Just wondering if anyone has heard back / knows someone that's heard back from Addleshaw (Manchester office) re the Summer 2025 Vac Scheme?? I've not heard back post CTA and want to know if I should assume PFO.

HSF AC for Spring. Would love any help, happy to exchange for Slaughter and May interview insight

Is Kirkland still sending out ACs?

 

[murm]

Anyone that did Kirkland AC- what is the next stage? Vac scheme or are they still just fast-tracking to TC interviews like previous years?

Has anyone heard back for Mishcon Summer, Farrer, or Squire Patton Boggs

I was invited to AC on thursday.

Which office?

 

[shays]

Have they give out summer AC invites? Also have people been rejected for summer yet!

I applied for spring and heard nothing back yet

Seconded! My original post was in relation to the Manchester office.

Hello everyone.

I haven’t heard back from Freshfields, Hogan Lovells and White and case for anything.

I completed HL’s first year scheme so I emailed grad recruitment that I don’t need to complete the WG which they confirmed but haven’t heard anything else.

Haven’t received a Freshfields WG. I applied on the 9th so I don’t know if I should email grad recruitment???

Is anyone in the same boat as me?

how would you say that skadden differs itself from other US firms?

Are Skadden still taking applications?

 

[NCTC2025]

@Jessica Booker Hi! If I wanted to get an application reviewed and a friend of mine has a free monthly review that they're not planning to use could I send it through them?

 

[murm]

Are Skadden still taking applications?

They closed at start of Dec

I am also still waiting and maybe starting to think PFO. I applied for the in- house position but not sure if that makes any difference! A bit disappointing as they’re one of my top choices.

Aah that's so unfortunate as they were my top choice for this round. Thought I had a strong app, but may have tripped up at the CTA stage. Would have been great if they could send the PFOs at the same time as the London office, instead of delaying lol. Fingers crossed we hear good news this week, choosing to try to stay positive!

Has anyone heard from Weil? Or has anyone emailed grad rec?

Same! I’m for Feb 3rd. Wishing you the best of luck.

Yeh, I haven't heard from HL since completing the WG around the start of december and haven't received freshfields WG and I applied on the 8th

Is it ok to bring a water bottle with another firm's name on it to an AC at a different firm? Sorry for the stupid question but I can't help thinking about this🥹
