TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

Hogan Lovells PFO

 

[OliverTwist]

For anyone applying to Brown Rudnick -

I am currently polishing my covering letter. I realise the firm has stipulated the letter should not be longer than one A4 page in length. I have used size 10 font (calibri), and am currently sitting at around 563 words. My piece just fits within one page, with no firm address at the top, nor my own address. I have just started the cover letter with 'Dear Ms Taylor Greeley,' which to me does not seem right for a cover letter.

Anybody that has applied in the past / has any suggestions...

Hi - does anyone have any insight into Morrison Foerster's first stage interview? It would be my first in-person interview so I am quite nervous and would really appreciate any advice !! 😊

Haven't received my HL pfo yet. I assume they will give the rest out this afternoon? That's what happened when Bakers rejected me at least. Bunch of people in the morning and the rest (me included) in the afternoon.

Does anyone know if the Osborne Clarke virtual AC is the last stage in the application process, or is there another stage before VS offers are made?

 

[allenpopi]

Can anyone give any advice on Cleary or W&C ACs? I have never done an AC before and not sure what to expect

 

[Defnefresko]

Anyone heard from Trowers?

I got a PFO yesterday.

 

[ayiiii05]

[FutureTraineeMaybe]

Does OC send virtual AC invites in batches?

 

[KBanana]

Did anyone attend the Proskauer Rose open evening on the 22nd of Jan? If so can you please pm me!

I am so confused about Proskauer's TC situation - can't seem to find anything about applying for a TC on their actual website but there is some information about it on ziplaw??

I might be missing some info so apologies if this is a silly question but.. why do you think you are set to get a PFO? I haven’t seen any HL invites yet so surely there’s a good chance you get an invite?
wishing for some happy news for you shortly 🍀

Signed,
