    I can’t remember if they even had that option when I was applying tbh. On their website it said to pick both VS and TC.

    That is strange of them to not mention that. They could have given us the heads up of what to expect.

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    That’s interesting, they didn’t mention that in their Applications Masterclass. They said their application process was simply an application with an 850 word personal statement, WG, then if you are successful , a half day AC.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Hi guys, I wanted to ask if I were to apply for a direct TC with freshfields, and was unsuccessful with my attempt, would that rule me out of applying for their winter vacation scheme programme? The applications for that programme open during the summer/fall I believe.
