TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

[A worried paralegal]

Have you heard back?

I got a pfo a while back

 

[LehmanBrothersRiskManagementIntern]

Anyone with no news from AG for direct TC?

 

[hehostressed]

I got an email saying that they’re changing their training contract structure and asking if I still wanted to proceed

Do you know when we’d be hearing back after that

Hi! Does anyone know if the commercial presentation with two partners applies to direct TC candidates after the White & Case AC? Or is this only for vac scheme candidates? I've seen conflicting information online.

 

[Hopefully2025]

Hi, does anyone know how long after the VI W&C normally sends PFOs?

 

[bluebell]

Does anyone have any advice for the GLP/GLS trainee scheme AC? Specifically for the written test? Have it coming up and am very nervous!!

 

[bluebell]

Has anyone received an offer from Dentons - second stage - direct TC

A lot of my friends have received a rejection on the 2nd of August but I have still not heard back. I am worried if this is missed communications but I was advised not to email. Any suggestions?

Is this after the application form? If so I never heard back after submitting my form

Yes after submitting the application form!!

 

[bluebell]

Yes after submitting the application form!!

Yeah, I never heard anything back either! Not sure whether to email or not!

I saw someone write on this thread that they emailed the grad rec team and they will get back to everyone by this month. I am assuming they get back to applications in batches keeping my fingers crossed!!

I have a doubt regarding Hogan Lovells application. I am a graduate who graduated in January and I recently applied for the Hogan Lovells application which had a deadline of 31st July 2024. After reading sites like Law careers it was mentioned that this particular deadline was for finalist and non law students and nothing about graduates were mentioned. However the same information was not mentioned on Hogan lovells website? Do you think this information is correct?

Maybe someone else will have a better idea about this but I'm a graduate and I applied for their Jan deadline (PFO after tests) because I assumed I didn't qualify for the summer deadline. Not sure about HL but I know for Freshfields also have 2 TC deadlines and the summer one is for current students - I asked around in July last year and found out I was ineligible. Might be worth emailing HL GR and asking.
