TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[StressedByAMountainOfBooks]

Has anyone not heard anything from Orrick post application? I’ve not got a rejection nor a WG invite.

I assume they getting back to us on a rolling basis. Seen someone both get a WG and rejected at different times on the forum.

Does anyone know anyone who has heard back from BCLP post test to attend the virtual interview for the direct TC application?

Welp BCLP PFO just came in today since mid may application / test. Very disappointing as I tried to have hope that this cycle would be my last.

Hii does anyone got insights for BCLP? Struggling to get anyone who has done it previously. Would appreciate any help xx

 

[hlaw123]

for the macfarlanes winter vac scheme, the work experience section says to use bullet points. should it be written using first person so consistently writing 'i supported on xyz.... i assisted' or is it better to just go in with the verb so each bullet would sound like - 'support on a range of.... assist on.... managed....' - any advice appreciated!

 

[LawEnthus]

Anyone heard positively yet from PMC for London?

 

[LandLaw629]

Has anyone who applied for the regional offices heard anything from PMC (Penningtons)? Good or bad?

 

[AndreaHernandez123]

Tired of firms saying they hire through the direct route when they clearly do not, they will even do the entire process and just waste everyone's time, unless they find a candidate that is a nail in the haystack. Please bring back transparency.

Did you apply for the TC? I received a Vacation Scheme invite despite applying for a TC. Not sure if this is a system error or if they have redirected applications to a different route
