    PFOs from Freshfields, Sull-Crom and MacFarlanes in the past week. If PH, SH and Dentons would like to wait a week before springing any more news on me, I'd appreciate it lmao.

    Just done the NFR Arctic Shores... I'm ranked low for 'persisting', 'over-coming obstacles' and one other... Don't think that's great 😭 But I also got some good scores for other ones that were high/I'm happy to be in the middle for. Good luck to everyone!

    Is the test not automatic? I didn't realise that.

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    Hi! I also did the Ashurst test and found it very difficult. For the block part I think I only completed 2 or 3 out of 7, so trust me you're not alone. I think everyone else will be in the same boat with having struggled in various games, so I wouldn't count yourself out just yet.
