They said they'd get back to us in Feb right, since their ACs are soon

Yes, I think they said their ACs are being held this month. So should be soon.

Does Cleary accept direct TC applications?

 

[futuretraineesolicitor]

I dont think they send out email PFO. I remember last year they din't send me a PFO for Direct TC application.

Did you get the PFO on the portal then?

 

[A M]

Did you get the PFO on the portal then?

No you dont. Just the Status on the portal changes to Application Unsuccessful from On Hold.

I applied for this batch too and haven't heard back / radio silence since completing SJT. Never received email saying I passed SJT too, so expecting a PFO.

Mine has not been updated since jan 5 (a few days after I applied)

When was your telephone interview? Did you tell them you was only available 7th or 10th for the AC ?

On Friday 28th and I didn't mention anything re not being available on the dates of the AC. They said they'd be in contact early this week so i'm a bit worried. Have you heard back?

 

[LegalTom]

Has anyone got the call from CC, yet?

I assume they call the candidates in accordance with their AC dates? Early AC attendees get calls first? When did everyone have the AC?

I had my 2024 AC on 17th. Was among the first but still haven't heard back unfortunately
