Thanks for sharing. That's helpful.Hi,
This thread might be helpful, it clarifies which firms hire from Direct TC applications! https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....eme-vs-direct-tc-applications-2022-2023.6136/
From your list, firms such as Ashurst, Dentons, Freshfields, NRF, White & Case, Travers Smith hire considerably from the Direct TC process, so are worth focusing on. Avoid firms with smaller trainee intakes (like Kirkland, Weil etc) for the Direct TC process. When firms have smaller intakes, they usually prefer hiring from the VS process instead.
Would like to know the sameHi all,
It looks like Hogan Lovells are reopening TC applications from June - July this year. Does anyone know if this is for a different year? They were also open at the start of this year. Is it worth reapplying if rejected this cycle?
Wont be until end of May at earliestHas anyone heard back from Shoosmiths direct TC application?
Any news from anyone yet?has anybody heard back from curtis yet? fully being ghosted at this point
Unfortunately I am not knowledge about this topic so cannot help/advise.@Jessica Booker I read an article a couple of months ago about partnership structures. The article essentially criticised firms like Kirkland for promoting their lawyers to non-equity partners so fast that when these partners left the firm, they struggled to find a similar role at a different firm and most left the profession altogether (they gathered their data from LinkedIn so it's not perfect ). Is this applicable to all US firms?
