TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

DAC critical thinking test, post-vi! Does anyone have any advice? would be much appreciated!

Taylor Wessing written exercise invite! Has anyone done it before ? Having no idea what to expect, any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

Congrats on the invite! I've also got one —would love to hear any tips if anyone's done it before. I'm wondering whether we focus solely on the information provided, or if is it useful to bring in relevant outside knowledge to demonstrate commercial awareness.

Have you heard back yet?

I’m in the same camp of not hearing back.

Unfortunately there have already been ACs (let alone AC invites) so I’m definitely assuming a PFO.

Has anyone heard back from RPC after completing their WGT in January?

Ahh I see. Did you get the offer?

It was a video interview invite

I see a couple of people have received Ashurst AC invites. I haven't heard anything from them since doing the assessment over a month ago. I know they said they will get back to us by February 14 - but should I assume PFO?

Normally I’d say wait until you hear from the firm but given I was in this position for the winter vac and they let us wait for 6 weeks for a rejection when they were doing ACs and giving offers. Feb 14 will be rejection day for those who didn’t progress post test.​

Is this for spring?

It’s for the summer vacation scheme

 

[marisachr]

[AlegalA]

Has anyone heard back from RPC after completing their WGT in January?
