    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Hey, thanks for sharing the info, have they mentioned whether they would still be inviting candidates to WG tests and interviews or is it only for PFOs ? I saw some people have received invites already so just wondering if I should still have some hope! Thanks

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Hi, I have a question that isn't directly related to TC app, hope it's ok. When someone qualifies after a TC, let's say in employment law, and then notices a few years later that they'd rather practice medical law, is it possible to transfer to another department within the firm/change firm...

    Ho sorry to hear about that, like Omi I'd like to know when you applied if you don't mind. I applied two weeks before the deadline and haven't heard anything back.

    Hi Bianca, regarding the London RPC app, when did you submit it if you don't mind me asking? In relation to Pinsent Masons, my application is at the same stage but I would give them another week or so, apparently their ACs take place w/c 26 July. Hope it helps!

    Thank you Jacob, I wasn't familiar with the thread but will definitely look at it now! What is really discouraging is the lack of feedback if I'm honest - but thank you for the encouragements :)

    Further to the lovely end-of-week PFO from Howard Kennedy, I'd like to know a bit more about what is required to succeed during a VI. In the 4 I've done so far, I passed 1 and failed 3. I'm not sure what I did wrong during the ones I failed and unfortunately, no feedback was provided. Maybe...
