    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    I got 62.5% with multiple 2.2s. I’ve got Ropes, Travers VSs since. Plus Jones Day, Latham, W&C ACs. I don’t think it’s fatal, honestly. Focus on what you can control. Namely, how you sell your experience. Experience plus motivation counts far more.

    I think other places use Cappfinity. Banks and possiblly the big four. Might be worth some applications there. Then you can practice with them. That’s what an Ashurst NQ suggested.

    Gibson Dunn or Winston & Strawn? Last VS apps I’ve got pending. Expecting rejections for both of them.

    Not sure it would help much. Probably best to wait for them. More time to make further apps. Plenty of firms are still open. I’ve never found follow-ups work, personally. Good luck with your K&S app.

    Yes plenty of time before ACs. “…applications are reviewed after the deadline of 13 July 2025”. Have you already applied to W&C?

    Hogan Lovells is testing our love. Anyone hear from the firm today? I was watching their videos yesterday. Might be getting my hopes up.

    It certainly happens with MC firms. I’d focus on yoke transferable skills. Shearman used to have this video. It listed the skills you need. I’d say try to find that. Lots of skills you can mention. What’s your work experience like now?

    Make sure you can debate well. Watching WUDC finals may help you. Really know your CV inside out. Anticipate questions about your CV accordingly.

    Curious about the numbers going forward. Four Training Contracts available from them. How many will get to AC? Two round process for the TC. It’s similar for Paul Hastings’ TCs. Hopefully we hear from them soon. March ACs would be short notice. I feel like it’ll be April.

    Thanks - this is very helpful stuff. What personalities are they looking for? I’ve never passed a Cappfinity test.
