    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I just logged on to the BCLP Vantage page to apply for the direct TC and its saying no roles available - is it possible they've closed their apps early? They were there on Friday, and the deadline was 31 May...

    Does anyone know if GDL grads are considered law grads for the Hogan Lovells summer TC application window? Can’t find the answer anywhere on their website. I know freshfields considers GDL grads as law grads, and Slaughters doesn’t!

    I can’t remember the dates off the top of my head, but they have a breakdown on their website. They contacted me on the date they said they would, so think they’re sticking to it ☺️

    Has anyone not heard back from Akin Gump for their summer VS? I did the WG on 18 Jan, it's clearly a rejection now as they had already offered vac scheme places before I did the WG. They sent out a mass of rejection emails (in March if I remember correctly), and I just haven't heard. Got another...

    I don’t know for certain, I would assume we can only apply to one though!

    Thank you for this!! I'm going to apply for their normal TC, as I can't say at this stage that I want to only be in real estate or finance! Would like to explore these practice areas, and others, during a TC ☺️

    For BCLP's direct TC, does anyone know the benefit of applying for their sector focused training contract over their normal training contract? Don't know which one to apply for - if I don't apply to a sector specific, would normal trainees still be able to complete seats in those areas?

    I’ve been offered a new paralegal role and I have no idea whether I should take it or not! I’m currently at an international law firm, it’s probably the better name to have on my cv, but the role is kind of a dead end one and now that I’ve been doing it for a while, I’ve learnt everything I can...

    I got my first role with no experience through Flex Legal, they count pro bono work as work experience so that helps with them. Once I got to six months paralegal experience, it started to get a lot easier to interviews for paralegal jobs (I haven’t done the LPC). I also think law firm offices...
