    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    I applied for March 2027 at A&O Shearman and haven't received a PFO yet... but my status on the portal has gone back to 'Applied' from 'Under Review'. Shall I take this as a PFO, or is it possible I could be waitlisted?

    Honestly I applied to A&O Shearman summer vs and they automatically changed me to DTC route. I already received PFO and confirmed with them that was a summer PFO. I didn't even have access to Portal rn as they auto changed for me. o_O

    When is A&O Shearman deadline for assessment it does not say on the email. Do we get feedback report for Freshfields? I did 1st test and said I would but I didn’t get one.

    I’d think soon. They rejected me today for the DTC (post SJT/VI) so they’ve probs made their decision.

    Hey! It happens to the best of us! It’s hard to say how the graduate recruitment team will approach it, but I’m sure if your overall application is very strong they’ll overlook it. Try not to worry too much! :)

    normally a&o Shearman recruits on a rolling basis, I'm surprised that they've said they've changed it

    ...and I’ve requested adjustments for every single stage of applications, including the assessment centre I did. I have a TC offer with A&O Shearman and progressed to AC with CC (which I declined because of my A&O Shearman offer). For VI I requested more prep time and I got about a minute extra...

    I’m trying to complete my A&O Shearman application. In the university module section, they only allow a maximum of 20 modules to be listed, but I have taken more than 20. What should I do? Can anyone help me out here?

    Massive congratulations!! If you are comfortable sharing, approx how did your feedback report look like? I'm wondering given the quite mixed results posted on TCLA after the Amberjack tests for either VS or TC apps! Thank you :)

    Someone mentioned on the VS thread that A&O Sherman will get back with outcome in the first/second week of December with ACs before Christmas. They received this info about DTCs during the LC Virtual Fair
