    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    How long do people think their answers should be at an interview in response to generic questions, such as 'why law', 'why commercial law' and 'why this firm'? Would 1-3 minute responses be ideal?

    Thank you! No telephone interview for the direct TC process. It was an hour-long virtual interview with a partner (However, I think it can sometimes be with a senior grad rec member)

    Passed the first interview stage of Travers Smith's Direct TC application! The next stage involves an individual piece of work that we are given two weeks to complete, followed by a virtual half day where an associate will lead us in an assessment which we are then given five days to complete...

    I have no clue unfortunately, their website doesn't appear to have been updated... could always be worth dropping an email to GR
