    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    This is what their website says, so if you've applied this week it'll be that deadline "You will have five days to complete the test and there will be no flexibility around this. Please factor this in when deciding to submit your application, as you will have to complete your test within these...

    https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/tcla-direct-training-contract-applications-discussion-thread-2023-4.8038/post-148802 This was Jess’ response about Slaughters. As far as I’m aware DLA doesn’t ask for a cover letter, what vacancy are you applying for?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    From my experience last year, it seems they deal mostly with the training contract applications first, I think most people had summer scheme interviews from January (maybe late December, don’t fully remember)

    They read applications first but they’re non-rolling so you probably won’t hear back till after the deadline

    They don’t use WG, there’s a SJT and a verbal reasoning test. I think it’s automatic but someone has to manually assign it, I got it after 3 days this year but last year it was almost a month after

    If you mean 18th of October, the 15th working day is tomorrow, might not be that helpful 😅 but technically there’s still a bit of time! If I remember correctly, Gemma’s the only person on the team reviewing these, so it might just be a busy time

    I don’t think NRF gives feedback reports, I didn’t get one this cycle or for the summer scheme earlier in the year

    If you haven't been able to do it yet, I think there's a typo on the link, when I took out the '2' it worked. But in the confirmation email the link worked

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    You have to upload a CV, no cover letter and I only remember 2 questions, why DLA and challenges on the training programme. They keep posting on their insta stories that applications are open so seems like they still want people to apply, don’t think it’s too late, feel like they’d just close...

    I would contact the firm and explain what happened, they might be able to reset it If you have like a screenshot/pic from when it crashed that might help too

    Depends on the firm, I know Slaughter and May, Baker McKenzie and White & Case let you apply in second year, there might be others, sometimes says in their FAQs, and if not I emailed them. Most of the US firms said third year. Freshfields said 3rd year only (penultimate year) when I was in 2nd...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I don’t think it’s necessarily too late to apply, I think it’s similar to Willkie where they review as applications come in but won’t fill up before the deadline and review all applications (I applied 2 days before the deadline for the summer scheme and got through to TI)

    They are rolling, their website says "Please be advised that places on our summer vacation scheme will be allocated on a rolling basis and so early application is advised."

    They might change but last year it was: Hogan Lovells: We set our standards high, and we trust our people to hold themselves accountable for meeting other people's expectations.
