TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

Does anyone know for certain they send them out in batches…?

Why can I no longer apply for a Weil TC, even though the deadline is 31/07?

I thought that Weil reopen their direct TC route as and when it’s needed, last year it reopened in June

Can't say for certain but they have a small grad rec. team and they read each application. I don't think they've sent *all* the WG invitations yesterday. Also many won't progress past WG so they may invite more people because of that anyway? They also increased their trainee intake this year.

Thank you. Hoping there’s some good news waiting for us.

Interesting, I definitely saw it advertised in the past couple of months, as I have noted down a deadline, that is odd...

Has anyone else still heard nothing either way from FF? Seen lots of WG invites and lots of rejections - unsure if my app has just been forgotten!

Final partner interview invite from Fieldfisher post AC last week (Birmingham 2024 TC) . I was getting worried as they said we’d hear early this week!

Guys, those who heard from FF - have you checked the portal before?
Just saw my application is now “inactive” and “complete”…….

I received a WG invite and it’s showing in progress.

That’s why I am pessimistic

I’m not sure whether the application status means that much, considering my application for Graduate Workshop is still showing in progress (got an offer).

 

[commerciallawyer2910]

Has anyone heard anything from Slaughter?

I'm not going to lie, it's a bit jarring that the Workday portal shows my FF application is 'complete' under the 'inactive' section. Would much rather them send me the PFO if that's the case, than make it seem unnecessarily ominous :/

As it does not say “completed” and “inactive” I assume we have an answer….

Well one thing I learned during the application process is you never know how the system really works, and you never know the outcome until you receive the PFO. Keep your hopes high!
