I think the people that got the written exercise have ACs next week? So I guess it’s possible more invites could go out for later dates, but I don’t think anyone really knows

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4
- Thread starter Jessica Booker
- Start date
(This is for Freshfields right?)
A few people I know applied and found their results when they checked it an hour or so ago
Did anyone apply to regional firms like Browne Jacobson? I’m looking at the application and I’m unsure if I’m meant to apply my previous job skills to the firm - regarding please give details of your responsibilities and achievements and how they support your application?
At an insight day, they said that they don't look at your LPC grade at all. They only look for a 2:1 undergraduate classification.
Thank you so much for your reply. Do you think it’s worth it to include my LPC grades then or should I just stick with my undergrad scores?
Hi guys! I completed an assessment center for a direct training contract at a law firm, and am expecting to hear back by the end of March. Since I am a penultimate year student, I am also eligible for the same firm's summer internship and the deadline for it is 1st march. Should I apply for the internship or will it imply that I do not urgently or imminently need the TC? (PS the firm doesn't offer TCs to its interns; they have to reapply)

You potentially could and I do not think it would impact your chances of getting the training contract, however I would email the firm to confirm this as they might not want you to apply if you are offered the training contract.
They might have a policy where if you apply and get invited to an assessment centre, you are not able to apply to the internship. I would contact them and if you can apply, I would apply.
Congratulations on obtaining an assessment centre for a training contract in your second year, this is extremely impressive!

Do you want to do the vacation scheme before making the decision on the TC? If so, then maybe speak to the firm and get their views on this. Its rare for the TC process to start before the VS process, and so speaking to them about this might be helpful.
They may also explain you don't need to reapply and that they can just consider you for the VS as well as the TC (assuming it is an offer).
Hiya, I imagine it's probably good to include all your grades. But I'd check with Grad Recruitment. I'm also an LPC-er and they specifically said they won't be factoring in your grade to the assessment process.

i was checking the portal all day and about 7pm i refreshed it again and it said application not progressed. no email from them though, i do want to ask for feedback for that written task as it was very time consuming
