That’s a banging office ngl. I’m gna apply for the direct tc now just so I can possibly have a chance at seeing this in person cos wow. 🤩
*starts panic researching Paul Hastings and their work in London in preparation for the dtc app*
I feel you cos I lowkey thought I’d cooked with my cover letter for Travers Smith. Went to their insight evening in London, AS Aspire masterclass series, AS RG VDLF, legal cheek law fair booth, etc.
So that PFO hit but with this process, I’ve learned that it only ever takes one yes. The right...
So their process is app -> VI -> WG -> WE -> AC -> VS -> TC? I thought W&C was the only one to have 100 hoops to jump through lmao. Firms are asking for too much these days ngl. :(
I’m pleased to announce that after 37 days post app, I’ve received a PFO post app from Travers! I’m still looking forward to nothing here!
Unfortunately this means Travers Smith failed to surpass Milbank on the league table. I wish them the best of luck in the next app cycle though!
This is...
I saw a few people who posted about Sidley PFO post app that they applied either a few days before or on the deadline (between 6 and 9 Jan).
I sent my app on the day of the deadline and still nothing lmao. I sent Travers on the deadline and I haven’t heard anything back yet (VI or PFO).
The SQE would be done in Sept 27 and would last a year before commencing the TC in 2028. I think the timeline would look like this:
July 2026: graduate from university
Sept 2027: start the SQE
Aug 2028: finish the SQE
September 2028: start the TC
September 2030: qualification
Some larger firms...
The only good news from my inbox today is a BCLP open day invite with Aspiring Solicitors lmao. I just received the email for it so that’s something ig.
I’m honoured to announce that I just received my Morgan Lewis PFO post TI for Summer VS!
Looking forward to nothing here! Gna assume the same for Orrick post WG. I’m cooked lmao.
I don’t think any of these firms’ deadlines have closed yet and they’re all non-rolling, so it’s gna be a while before any post app responses. White & Case and Paul Hastings won’t be until June and July for DTC responses afaik.
