    Bit of a silly question but could I ask for some help on understanding when TC applications generally open? I thought that they generally open up in late July/August/September but I have just seen that HL have had their's open for (at least?) the last 2 weeks and it'll close by end of July?!?!
    I'm going to be getting some legal experience from September onwards so i was kind of counting on waiting until I'd built up my experience in the job before I started making applications (my cv is pretty sparse on legal experience atm!)
    Is HL just an anomaly? I understand that the TC start date is March 2028 so will HL have another window for Sept 2028 starts in a few months time?
    I really appreciate any insight - thank you in advance guys! :)

    just to build on this, @Amma Usman do we need to put our address/ firm's address, or just go in straight adn start dear xxx ? :)

    thank you in advance !

    Firm’s address - yes. For cover letters, I don’t usually bother to put my address unless asked as it just eats up the page space, especially if the firm specifies anything bigger than single line spacing.
