TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

[SamiyaJ]

Anyone receive any updates from NRF TC?

 

[Gday33]

Anyone else going for government TC? Apps opened yesterday.

Waiting to hear back from RPC, Stephenson Harwood, HFW post app. Done online tests for Norton Rose and Mayer Brown and waiting response, doing online for GLD tonight.

Passed Irwin Mitchell AC. Through to final interview.

PFO Irwin Mitchell 😭

Has anyone heard back from Kingsley Napley? Their website says "Successful candidates to be contacted: 25th April 2024", but idk if that means KN contacts them BY tmr or ON tmr😬

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't stick with that deadline. The application closing date was the 15th of April, so I'd be shocked if they managed to sift through roughly 500 applications between those two dates!

Hoping that's the case because I haven't heard back from them yet:00

Saw a boutique firm that has their apps open and their client base looks exactly like what I am interested in. The thing is I can't find them really anywhere online not on the Legal 500, or Chambers. They are very small and discreet but also they say they've acted for members of the aristocracy. Is something fishy here?

Not necessarily - firms have to pay to be listed in these publications and smaller firms may not have the resource or reason to do so.

You can check if they are on the SRA and Law Society websites if you are concerned.

Has anyone else heard from Ashurst

I fear a rejection by Kingsley Napley going by their application process timeline :/
