    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Honestly, I've referred to work experience from almost 10 years ago as what 'spurred my interest in the law' and it hasn't stopped me from progressing. As long as you can write a plausible narrative around your debating experience and what more you've done to explore the interest, you should be...

    I imagine they're probably sending them in batches, as there weren't any application questions. I can't imagine there was anything for them to assess in the app.

    I haven't done them, but may I ask if they were of the competency/motivational type or were there commercial questions/curve-ball types?

    I've just received the out of office reply for Adeline, who appears to be off work until the 10th. I imagine we'll hear back after that time.

    Do they weave in competency/motivational questions during the formal interview or is it purely based on the article?

    Does anybody know the name of the training principal at Stevens & Bolton? The application says to address the cover letter to S&P Training Principal, but it seems so awkward to write Dear Training Principal.

    Guys, this feels like a silly question, but do you have an easy way of identifying proper nouns? Is 'M&A' in the context of '...during the due diligence stage of M&A deals' supposed to be capitalised? If I substituted M&A with Debt Finance, would it still be the same rule?

    To anyone who has applied to these firms (Gatelely, Browne Jacobson and Womble Bond Dickinson, Simmons & Simmons), do you receive the online assessment immediately after your application?
