    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    I went to uni in London, so I can’t speak about the academic side of things. However, if I was to offer a piece of advice, I’d say try to network with lawyers from your country, especially those who work in practice areas which are prevalent in London. Around 7-8 international law firms have...

    Hey all - not necessarily vac scheme related, I just want to wish everyone good luck in this cycle. It's a gruelling process with many ups and downs, but as long as you stay resilient you'll be successful in the end. Personally, I recently saw my TC (which I obtained after two cycles of...

    After a lot of effort and many demoralising final stage rejections, I recently was offered a TC! Many thanks to everyone on this forum - TCLA is a great community and has helped me a lot. My dm’s are open to anyone seeking advice, especially people applying to City firms with more “niche”...

    I'm fairly certain that they are not recruiting on a rolling basis, as I submitted my application very close to the deadline myself.

    Anyone heard from WFW post VI? (Summer Vac Scheme)

    Then they might send it on Friday. The point is that the Milbank WG doesn't get sent until a few days before the actual AC, which might explain why some people still haven't received it.

    I applied on the deadline day, as they review applications on a non-rolling basis!
