Where Firms Recruit From (Direct TC/VS)
@Nat000 Covington & Burling: "We recruit trainees predominantly from our vacation schemes. We therefore advise any candidates who are interested in a training contract to submit an application for a vacation scheme in the first instance." Howard Kennedy: Only from TC applications, no vac...- Adam Gilchrist

Should I be applying for vac schemes or training contracts?
The only other thing to note is your interest in American firms. Quite a few of them either only recruit from vac schemes (Davis Polk, Shearman & Sterling, Sidey Austin etc) or recruit overwhelmingly from their vac schemes (Skadden, Kirkland & Ellis etc). Kirkland & Ellis in particular is...- Adam Gilchrist

Linklaters Winter VS
The other thing you can do is look at Glassdoor's interview experiences, although from memory, they mostly just echo stuff covered in the TCLA experiences.- Adam Gilchrist

Where Firms Recruit From (Direct TC/VS)
Nice work, thanks for doing this. It's also worth noting that Clifford Chance almost deserves a category of its own, since it has scrapped the traditional vac scheme (https://www.legalcheek.com/2020/07/clifford-chance-teams-up-with-york-university-to-launch-virtual-work-experience-programme/)...- Adam Gilchrist

Australian/non-UK applicants
Just on a slight tangent - an alternative that I have seen work (albeit in my limited experience) for Australians is joining an alliance firm and subsequently transferring to the U.K. firm. There are more than a few London-based Australian associates at Linklaters - for example - who came over...- Adam Gilchrist

General Discussion Thread 2020-21
I’d agree with you for the most part: firms want previous legal experience - but generally they want previous corporate experience. Most non vac scheme legal experience that an average second year university student is going to have is a fortnight making coffee in a high street firm - hardly...- Adam Gilchrist

Not impossible at all, but it really makes it a lot harder to do. It isn't impossible, as - for example - Shearman & Sterling stress: https://ukgraduates.shearman.com/2016/05/11/help-i-didnt-vacation-scheme-insiders-guide-direct-training-contract-applications/- Adam Gilchrist

If you haven't done a VS anywhere else, then A&O's VS/direct TC ratio doesn't matter to you. Rule of thumb is you need a VS under your belt first to apply for a TC.- Adam Gilchrist

Which law firms recruit on a rolling basis? 2019-20
OK, I've finished the list. Obvious provisos: Check the links, don't just rely on me. Non-listed firms simply meant I could not easily find information about this year's recruitment process - so I didn't use tweets/law society brochures/job descriptions/TCLA posts from previous years, since...- Adam Gilchrist

Be the change you want to see, and all that I've only included firms who I could find information for this year definitively, either through their website or through their social media/law societies. Akin Gump: TC rolling basis, unclear for VS...- Adam Gilchrist
