Got the BCLP TC yesterday! Such a relief and so excited. I know they have another AC in early June for people who have done stuff with the firm, but more ACs will deffo be coming after that!

When did you apply?
I applied in November and they only sent me the Watson Glaser last week. I believe they are slowly getting back to people so hang in there and stay positive. I am sure you’ll be fine, best of luck
Hi there!
I have a TC AC coming up with Bird & Bird. If anyone has done an AC with Bird & Bird either for TC/VS, please may I know how long the AC was, how was it, was it difficult, what was the written exercise like etc.?
Thank you!

Huge congratulations! That's brilliant news - make sure you celebrate
BM rejection just came though. Good luck everyone still in the game
So sorry to everyone getting BM rejections.... I know it hurts more when you get rejected after passing that initial app stage. But you all did extraordinarily well to get that far so keep pushing 💥
Anyone heard back from BCLP for direct TC? I applied in December and did the test in early March. Slightly concerned as it seems they’ve had some AC’s and given offers already

Blame GDL coursework 😂 😂My guy monitoring the forums at 1am. Love that 24/7 hustle 😅
I believe those with offers/ ACs already are people who have done things with the firm. Direct TC applicants will be considered after those people are dealt with!
I’m really not sure sorry! Try not to worry too much, I’m sure you’ll be just fine
Agree with @Law2022 in regards to your Q above. Current ACs are for brand ambassadors and insight scheme participants, so the Race for Change event probably would not fall under this umbrella.
I did my AC with them in August 2019 and that was one of the first ones so you have nothing to worry about at all!
Yeah I had a Paralegal interview there right before lockdown #1. Would have got the job before they froze all recruitment. Was distraught 😂🤣
