    Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey

    Just putting it here so I don't forget!! I will come back with a fuller update on how the interview went and my own two cents on how to strategise TC applications (I changed my approach so much compared to last year and it really seemed to work out!). This will take place after my dissertation...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Hi everyone, hope 2025 has been good so far! I have a few questions about GDL start date. If the start date is in September but I for personal reason can only come back to the UK in October, is it acceptable that I only start going to class in October? To put it more bluntly, will the course...

    Hello friends, I’m here for my last update of 2024 before taking a break from this forum: Received Clifford Chance AC for direct TC! What a pleasant surprise. I literally have never passed a single VI. 🥹 Got Mishcon VI invite earlier this week and completed it yesterday. Oh boy it did not go...

    Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey

    Hey friends, I have been getting lots of messages asking me for tips regarding interviews at various law firms. I endeavoured to reply to most of them - provided they were thoughtful questions about my personal experiences, timelines, and interview format. However, after some reflections on...

    Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey

    Hello friends I'm back again with my weekly spill: Mini pupillage has been going really well. I ended my first court shadowing early today because we didn't end up going to trial - the other side settled. But still got to witness some top notch negotiation between my mentor and the opposing...

    Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey

    Ahhhh my gut feelings turned out to be right again. Rejected from Dechert post-AC but received Travers AC for direct TC after the first-round interview! I'm counting my blessings and staying hopeful :)

    Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey

    Finished Dechert AC today! It went better than I thought. Everyone was so down-to-earth, the commercial case study was also very similar to a case that I've done at a negotiation competition. Overall it was very manageable and relaxed. I am excited by how things are going but also absolutely...
