Has anyone had an update from Kingsley Napley yet? Getting nervous
TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4
- Thread starter Jessica Booker
- Start date
Anything from Howard Kennedy? Am trying to fight the urge to constantly refresh my emails hahaha
Next stage (written exercise) for Ashurst direct TC!
Kingsley Napley next stage out (MCQ and video presentation)
Congrats, still waiting on mine...
Saw a boutique firm that has their apps open and their client base looks exactly like what I am interested in. The thing is I can't find them really anywhere online not on the Legal 500, or Chambers. They are very small and discreet but also they say they've acted for members of the aristocracy. Is something fishy here?

Not necessarily - firms have to pay to be listed in these publications and smaller firms may not have the resource or reason to do so.
You can check if they are on the SRA and Law Society websites if you are concerned.
Same especially since they sent invites yesterday. Just wish they would email unsuccessful applicants for purposes of closure.
I just got mine after getting my Bakers email yesterday midday.
yep just got it too! their email said we'd get it same day so was confused when i didnt
I got a PFO on 18 April - did my test 11 Feb. Honestly, I've always had a bad experience with their graduate recruitment. Given how long we spend on these apps and how large the firm is, I think it's quite unfair to keep us waiting that long. I hope you do hear back soon but there are plenty of other firms who won't take your time or application for granted.

I think they are still recruiting for a key role in their GR team which has been open since the start of the year - if that is the case, it could be one of the key reasons for the delay.
NRF PFO. This really sucks. I did well in the test. My report was all above average. Argh. It's a sign to just give up. This year's application season has been the worst.
Last year I got through to 2 ACs and a couple of video interviews. Even secured a vac scheme at a magic circle firm. You'd think after all that I'd be progressing further with direct TC apps. But no, it's only been rejections all year.
