    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    I had the same thoughts but received the tests yesterday!! They said not to assume anything btw, they're still reviewing applications and people can hear back within a month. On this note, does anyone have specific tips on how to excel in Amberjack - besides what's been posted already? I...

    Heyy, no I haven't, I'm about to submit my application - just wanted to cross-check one last time. I believe they get back to applicants post deadline since it's non-rolling

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Can anyone that has previous experience with Dorsey or specific knowledge of the firm DM me please? I’d really appreciate it and can offer advice about SH and Hogan Lovells (reached AC before with both). It’s literally impossible to research the firm due to its size in London and very limited...

    I feel like a broken record at this point but has anyone that applied closer to the deadline for Reed Smith’s direct TC heard back? Good luck with the VI+SJT for those that received it already!

    Does RS tend to review all apps before sending out VIs or they have limited spots for VI?

    Happy Sunday everyone! Is applying to WFW still worth it considering that the deadline is in 2 days and they're rolling? I saw that some people got VI earlier in June already. (I could submit a high quality app, did multiple firm events with them and know the firm quite well, just kept...

    I think it's too early to assume, seems like most people that got the VI+SJT applied late May or early June
