I'm new to TCLA, so have no idea really how to use this. I'm on my second application cycle now and really disappointed to say that I didn't get into the firm I applied to and really liked (Eversheds).

My question regards the next application.

Is it easier to get a training contract, or into the vacation scheme, from the winter or summer Travers Smith vacation scheme?



All the best to everyone,

Alice

    Hi Alice,

    Winter VSs v Sumer VSs aren't necessarily easier or harder, although I believe Travers' VS application deadline has now passed for this cycle. While some firms will make winter VSs, for example, for non-law students and grads only, I don't think Travers do this.

    In terms of direct TC apps with Travers, the only difference between being recruited on this path as opposed to VSs is that a direct TC app involved 2 interview stages rather than one.

    Hope this helps.
