TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[HopefulFutureTrainee123]

Does anyone know if Cleary genuinely considers candidates via their direct TC route?

Ah i see, does attending the firms virtual events count as having contact even though its not an open day?

Yes 😊 the most important thing is how you talk about it and what you feel you gained from the event that enriches your application.

Thank you so much! I had an assessment centre for Birmingham 2024 end of last week and worrying about when they will get back… How long did you have to wait between AC and final interview invite?

Mine was on Wednesday and they phoned me Friday afternoon, but a lot of other people from my AC have told me today they haven't heard back yet. On the day we were told they would email us early this week so I hope they aren't stressing too much yet.

Final partner interview for Fieldfisher coming up! How does everyone like to prepare for technical interviews? And practice techniques

Same here. Congrats! What's your plan for preparing?

For anyone wondering why Linklaters haven’t gotten back to anyone, apparently they’re still doing AC’s for people who have done the Pathfinder scheme etc. They still haven’t started with people who applied to their direct TC.
