TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[hannah04]

I would actually recommend the opposite. The firm is not looking for you to tell them what they have already done, they are looking for your originality of thought on the topic.

Thanks for your input Jessica! So would you say that it's perfectly fine if the firm isn't mentioned at all in the answer? (Also does your suggestion differ if the full question asks "provide 3 suggestions of how law firms like us can help support...etc...")

I hate to be that guy but what time is this: 'The deadline for this interview is 25 July 2023 (GMT+01:00)

To me it reads 1am Tuesday but just seems a bizarre deadline.

Just FYI as we’re currently in BST I think the deadline will be midnight rather than 1am, but could be wrong!

Looks like they send out WG from Freshfields in batches. Anyone have any feedback? Is it timed? More difficult than the average WG test?

Does anyone remember if CC offered virtual ACs in the cycle that just passed?

I don't think they did. A friend of mine did it in their office but for their Middle East it was virtual not for their London as far as I remember.

They mean 23.59 on 25 July given its BST rather than GMT at the moment.

Has anyone received the WG from Hogan Lovells, considering they review on a rolling basis? I applied last month and I am yet to hear back.

I received it 2 days after submitting my application. Applied last month

I also applied last month although haven’t been sent the WG, I emailed grad recruitment but still haven’t heard anything :/

tbh I haven't heard anything after the WG anyway, I will let you know if I hear anything though!

Anyone have any tips for Dentons AC?

Hi! I went to one of the online law fairs, GR said they won't get in touch until closer to the deadline.

Hi @Jessica Booker hope you are doing well. Could you please tell me how I can alter the details that I had written for my mock TCLA interview? Basically, whilst booking the mock, there was one section that asked me if I had details about what kind of questions would be asked in the interview. I want to change that section slightly. Is there an email address for this?

Thanks.
