    I think the rest of the MC do have a healthy intake of direct TC applicants, but Linklaters and A&O Shearman don't based on my interactions with the firm.

    You can but you won't be able to retake the WG & CAPP test. For the direct TC, graduate recruitment mentioned during the Legal Cheek fair that you need to have substantial legal experience (they focus mostly on people with paralegal experience, not compliance etc), as they only offer a handful...
