TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

Sorry, I meant in terms of would a legal assistant role be valued more than an admin assistant one, in the grand scheme of things?

It depends on what team the admin role is in really. If it is in a legal team then it’s just a slightly different job title - legal assistant/admin assistant would be a very similar role, while an admin assistant in risk would be very different.

Hi guys, does anyone know whether Fried Frank's TC runs in rolling basis? I saw their linkedin post that they're still recruiting and the deadline is next week

I don't think they're rolling

Does anyone think Ashurst will give out more online case studies or should I expect a PFO?

Congrats! Do you have any tips or guidance on how to structure the video presentation / what content you addressed as I've not been able to progress past this stage twice now so would really appreciate any guidance for next year!

[Raspberry44]

congrats. noob here. is this after the case study?

Yes it was after the written case study

 

[Raspberry44]

Congrats and good luck! If they are already sending out interview invites, does this mean they are done with the online case study stage? 🥲

Thank you! I have no clue, these things are never really clear :/ I hope you get it!

Baker McKenzie DTC AC post VI!! I didn’t think the VI went well at all so this has really caught me off guard honestly. 😅

This was my first ever DTC application and will be my first DTC AC. Does anyone know how much different this would be to a VS AC? 🥲

Best of luck to everyone who is currently waiting post VI! I genuinely thought mine was atrocious so don't lose hope just yet! 🙂​

Assuming it’s likely a PFO if we haven’t heard from Baker McKenzie now then?

 

[spamelinazoid]

What day did you apply if you don’t mind telling me?

last day, and still waiting!

Assuming it’s likely a PFO if we haven’t heard from Baker McKenzie now then?

Seems likely, though you never know. Their ACs last year ran until mid June…

the last ac is on 26 june even this time around.

Law firms and their stupid email subjects:

The subject: "Ashfords LLP Bristol Assessment Centre"

The content: "We received a high volume of strong applications this year, and after careful consideration, we regret to inform you that we will not be progressing your application to the next stage of our recruitment process."
