TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)
You can update the firm as to your grades via email. How much they take it into account is very much down to the firm. You can just state you are waiting for your other modules to be marked.- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)
I used to do this for a number of the firms I worked for - a couple of firms did it for the LPC and GDL - was nice preparing cheques for tens of thousands of pounds 😂. You’ll probably just need to provide proof of purchase/receipt. The firm may only reimburse you what they would have paid for...- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
I think if firms have consistently low retention rates that is a worry, while firms with a consistently high retention rate are clearly doing well to manage their talent pipeline and retain talent in the firm. I don’t think it’s valuable looking at just one intake’s retention rate - but instead...- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
It depends how the firm wants to manipulate the stats. Sometimes it’s calculated on the qualifying intake minus those who don’t apply for jobs with the firm, those who aren’t offered a job (mixture of poor performers and those who only apply to departments that are over subscribed), and those...- TCLA Community Assistant

They wouldn’t find out unless you told them. If they did find out through other people it is a major data protection breach.- TCLA Community Assistant

Unlikely to be asked if you have accepted a TC but very likely to be asked where else you have applied and where you are up to in the recruitment process for the firms.- TCLA Community Assistant

Moving from MC/SC firm to US
I wouldn’t say it’s as simple as it being easier one way or another. It’s going to depend a lot on your profile now, which US firms you are aiming for etc. Moving across firms, whether it’s on qualification or a few years PQE is going to depend a lot on where you qualify into, what experience...- TCLA Community Assistant

1) probably a combination of couple of those factors 2) I think you’d still need the significant improvement, if you were eligible for the internship.- TCLA Community Assistant

King & Wood Mallesons
It was 5 years ago. A lot has happened since then. The UK entity went into administration, but the Chinese entity has since reopened an office in London. As it was a Swiss Verein, that could all easily happen. I doubt they will recruit TCA for a while though - although the SQE could mean they...- TCLA Community Assistant

If you can pay them back all the course costs and maintenance grant (and potentially fairly immediately), then yes, you could.- TCLA Community Assistant

Speak the firm about that - but it sounds like you would be only considered for a 2024 TC anyway if you did choose to do the GDL this year and reapplied.- TCLA Community Assistant

Impossible for me to say. All it will take is another form of lockdown or a new variant and we could find no one has a choice in the matter.- TCLA Community Assistant

I’d go with the job every time. Doing the GDL could be a waste of time if the firm converts to the SQE anyway.- TCLA Community Assistant

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
You haven't got a English qualifying law degree, so you need to apply for the 2024 programme. You don't need to check anything with the SRA. The PGDL is a GDL course that you would have to make if you were going the LPC route. Many firms are still putting their trainees through a GDL...- TCLA Community Assistant

Because the interview notes are not in a presentable format and may not make sense anyway, as its not necessarily comparing your performance to others. Follow up with them and ask for the feedback again.- TCLA Community Assistant

Not at all. If you have been told any topic, you’ll find the firm has a whole range of topics presented to them - some with absolutely no connection to law at all. General presentation rules apply - think about your audience and keep them in mind with the content, keep it simple, keep to time...- TCLA Community Assistant
