TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

Nothing

At least we are all in the same boat! Must just be having delays

Has anyone heard back from WFW post-app? I applied recently, and they were reviewing on a rolling basis, so I am afraid that I may have applied too late.

Is there a point applying to Stephenson Harwood DTC? Does anyone know how many trainees they recruit via that route and if it is rolling or non-rolling? Thanks

I believe I know of a couple of people that have gotten TCs through this route at the firm. If a firm wouldn’t recruit many people via that route/ or even one person at all, the portal will close and a notice will be sent out to applicants letting them know.

The way I also like to see situations like this is - for example, even if they are recruiting just one person… it could be you right?

Have that mindset and throw that application in!

As for SH specifically, it says “We review applications on a rolling basis but never make offers to fill all our places before the application deadline.”

Guys, if I close my reed smith assessment before VI (it says I can take a break but I want to do it tomorrow), will it automatically submit? I don’t want my camera to be recording all night until tomorrow

Thanks! If some users did not do it all in one sitting, I’d appreciate the help 😊

Hello all, does anyone know if the prep time for the Government Legal Trainee VI is limited?

 

[Sunshinepink]

Hey everyone, I remember seeing a link to a document that specified which firm include the WG in their application process but I can't seem to remember where. Please could someone direct me to it?
