TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

I would expect it to be staggered for most firms. Some may do blocks of offers, but considering they will have people decline the offer, they will typically need to top those offers back up once people have declined.

Thank you for your response. What about when hearing if you have made it to the AC or not? Is it staggered or do they send the AC invites at once?

Again, most likely to be staggered for the same reasons - some people won't book in for interviews/assessment centres and they will need topping up.

Did everyone get that email from Slaughter & May apologising for not getting back to them already? Assuming it was a generic email

I didn't get this email, when was it sent to you?

I'm currently filling out the Vinson & Elkins application form, for their Direct Training Contract, and one of the requirements is 60 and over in all 1st-year undergraduate modules.

I satisfy this criterion... I completed a four-year course and I have now graduated, however, in one of my final year modules, I received a rogue 59.

To me, this requirement seems as though they may place importance on 60 and above in later years if they do in the first year.

Has anyone had success progressing through to the VI stage with the firm with one anomaly of 2.2?

P.S. I scored 67 overall in my degree, so a solid 2.1, I'm just wondering whether I would be spending time on an app that may go nowhere.

I can't find it either. If it is not on there by tomorrow I think it would be worth emailing them.

I think you can apply via this link: Baker McKenzie Job Board (cvmailuk.com) - although the vacancy isn't listed there. If it isn't there by Friday, I would contact them. I might just be they need to set it up.

Received the VI today and had a couple of 2.2s in my second year so I wouldn’t worry about it

Is this for V&E Direct TC? Aren't they non-rolling and the deadline is in June?

 

[HopefulFutureTrainee123]

Does anyone know if Baker McKenzie's direct TC is rolling? TIA

Thanks for the info!

Hey, I submitted my app late November and got the VI invite three days later. I got an email from the team in early Jan that they are currently reviewing VIs and will be getting back to us asap but not yet heard since

What stage are you in specifically? post-app or post-vi?

I'm currently just post-app!

If I passed Hogan Lovells' WG for summer scheme last year, would I have to do a WG test for them again now that I'm applying for a direct TC app? Also just wondering if there's someone else who hasn't received the WG test for either HL or Mayer Brown after submitting direct-TC app?
