    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    PFO from TLT. It was a bit confusing because when I had checked my application status about a week ago, it had said that they were waiting for the outcome of an online test, but I hadn't received one. Did anyone else encounter a similar situation?

    Hi all, just wanted to check if anyone has the same problem as me with Allen & Overy's application. Their application form only allows for a maximum of 20 modules for GCSE-equivalent and above examinations. I completed these outside of the UK and have more than that number to report. I was...
