TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
I saw online that Ashurst take 50 people across the WVS and SVS so assuming 50% get a TC it’s 25/40 TCs going via VS so 15/40 via DTC? So my guess would be 30-45 final ints, 60-90 ACs and 120-180 WEs for the DTC route, out of probs at least 2-3k apps, which is pretty cooked. I’m just...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I haven’t applied to open days at the same firm but through Aspiring Solicitors there were a few firms I did repeat visits too (HSFK and BCLP spring to mind). I think Clifford Chance too but it was through Legal Cheek or something iirc. But I think it was for a diff event or purpose each time...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

The date they give in the email is the day they will send out all the PFOs. They’ve done that for a while now. So the 29 May date is rejection day. The people that will progress to the WE will start to hear back pretty soon. That could be next week or early May, but not long left now tbh.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Ashurst should start sending WEs out next week or early May, if they follow last years’ timeline. Mayer Brown said in the SJT VI email that ACs are in July so no reply until around June 30.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
