TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

Does anyone know how long HL takes to reply after a WG?

I have no clue tbh. I've seen some people suggest that getting through to the WG stage was done through an initial screening and then they will assess our application holistically with our WG result. If that's the case, I imagine we could be waiting for a bit longer. However, if there is no further check of our applications post-WG, I imagine the response will be quicker, as they will simply need to check how we scored relative to other candidates.

Just my opinion, sorry for not having a definitive answer!!!

So much for NRFs “48 hour” outcome email

These firms love to build the suspense haha

When do people reckon we will hear back from Weil and Macfarlanes?

I saw today that Weil have extended their application deadline to 8/08/2022 (not sure when they did it), so maybe after that date?

Not sure if its just a glitch on mine but that is what came up when I checked a few minutes ago! Could be wrong though

Hmm, odd that they extended it so close to the deadline (if it isn't a glitch).

Does anyone know how long HL takes to reply after a WG?

Unfortunately, I expect up to three weeks, given earlier experience
