Hi everyone!

With several firms preparing to open applications for direct training contracts, we are launching this dedicated thread for the 2025-2026 application cycle.

Please use this master thread to discuss anything related to direct training contract applications. This can include everything from application and interview queries to news from particular law firms. As ever, the strength of this forum lies in its thoughtfulness and collegiality. Please continue to share your insights generously and to engage with each other constructively.

Finally, last year’s thread can be found here: TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024–25. Later this month, I will post a consolidated list of firms with their respective deadlines to assist those planning their approach for the year ahead.

Wishing everyone the very best as the new cycle begins.
