TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

[Jessica Booker]

What do you find attractive about BCLP's sectors/departments and which area(s) are you interested in having exposure to in your Training Contract and why?

How to answer this question? Is it necessary to talk about all of BCLP's sectors/departments in general or just those which interest me?

Your answer only needs to focus on those sectors or departments that of are particular interest to you.

feel like a broken record but, anyone hear from HogLov lol?

radio silence from what I've seen on the internet so far

I have just heard back with an AC ! But I didn’t know that they require you to have work permit in Dubai. They asked to provide a proof of work there. Do you think they don’t provide visa ?

Well ! I called them to double check as it doesn't make sense to require all candidates to have work permit in Dubai, and they cannot sponsor it as an international firm. They said they will call me back as the AC is next week. Hope you hear soon.
Anyone else heard back with an AC from Simmons & Simmons Dubai TC ?

Congratulations!! Gonna take that as a PFO because I’ve not heard anything yet.

Don't lose hope. There is only one date available though, 7th March.

probably makes it even less likely🤣. Appreciate the hope. Did you have to log in to see it or did you get an email?

I got the email to inform me about the AC, and need to log in to confirm the date.

Have you seen of anyone else who’s heard? Wonder how many places there are and how many are being offered?

 

[abdskurts1]

Has anybody heard from CMS post-VI for Dubai? I submitted mine over 2 months ago, but haven't heard anything since.

I am wondering the same as well. I posted here who else heard.

For anyone with a Freshfields Direct TC AC next week, have you received your link yet to complete the written assessment?

They said we will receive this before the AC and must complete it by the deadline stated on the link. I have not received anything yet so just double checking anyone else has before I contract grad rec.

Thanks,

I haven't either. I'm assuming that we may receive it sometime this week and the deadline for the written exercise will be different from the date of the actual interview if we don't receive it in time for the interview.

Thanks for replying. My guess is it will come in the next few days and we will have till Sunday eve to complete it

Seems unlikely more ACs will be going out if people have received the written exercise already? Or am I being pessimistic?

I think the people that got the written exercise have ACs next week? So I guess it’s possible more invites could go out for later dates, but I don’t think anyone really knows

(This is for Freshfields right?)
