Hey guys,

I hope you're all doing well.

I have a bit of a dilemma. There are several firms that I would be interested in applying for, but I am unsure about the recruitment process. Namely, all the firms nominally offer a direct TC route, but I am unclear as to whether they open up that route purely if they haven't found enough trainees from their VC, or whether it exists as a viable alternative option. The firms in question are:

- Vinson and Elkins

- Cleary Gottlieb

- Latham and Watkins

- Milbank

- Akin Gump

I am asking this simply to see whether it's worth applying and going through the process of writing the application.

Thanks a lot.
