    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    I still have not heard back from Bristows post partner review and holding email. I did my VI later than the rest (probably the last batch), but seeing that people have completed their first round interviews last week, should I email HR to check my application status? The latest email from the HR...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    Got a holding email from Bristows that says the following: “This is just a quick note to say we have had some delay in coming back to you with next steps as we have had some conflicting internal deadlines with our Partners. Not having heard back from us is not an indication either way. We hope...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Got an email from Kirkland and I am so sure it is a PFO, but I am refusing to open it and just letting it remain as Schrodinger's PFO... As long as I don't open it it could be both PFO and not PFO... I have reached a new level of denial.

    Hey, does anyone have insights on Orrick? I am trying to dig for more details on their specialisation and international outreach initiatives but cannot seem to find their profile on TCLA. I am happy to share insights on Cleary, Stephenson Harwood, and Slaughter May in exchange x

    If we haven't received any updates from Kirkland (not even VI!), is it safe to consider it a PFO at this point? Applied on 30 Dec.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Does Jones Day place any emphasis on whether or not applicants have completed their Forage programme? Given that they have a specific question about it on their portal?

    I also didn't get it and my portal is at 66%... Manifesting a quick and sweet PFO to pull me out of the pointless anxiety

    Hi, I did the VI for the IP workshop back in 2022. Not sure if the format has changed since but it was one behavioural question and one motivation question back then.

    I think this is the acknowledgment email, the holding email reads something like this: "The Recruitment Committee has now reviewed your application and for the short term, we would like to place your application on hold. We will consider your application further towards the application...
