TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[PrayingforaTC2026]

Any news (positive or negative) from Morgan Lewis or S&C?

 

[Gioiabwear Yong]

No. Not for Morgan Lewis, They said the firm does not recruit on a rolling basis and therefore candidates will only be contacted regarding their application once the deadline has passed.

AC invite from Reed Smith. I would be so grateful if anyone has any advice for the assessment centre.

Has everyone received rejection emails from bakers after the VI? I know it's probably going to be a rejection because the firm has already finished its ACs, but I just wanted to know whether the official rejection emails have been sent out yet.

I’ve still not heard anything either. Likewise, just assuming a PFO at this stage though.

The heightened sense of anxiety that I get when firms start sending out PFOs and invites is insane

AC invite from Reed Smith. I would be so grateful if anyone has any advice for the assessment centre.

Congrats! Did they have many slots available?

Anything from Browne Jacobson?

Does anyone have any experience with Eversheds online critical thinking test? Is it similar to the WG? I got an email saying that the test is timed with 24 minutes to complete. There are two kinds of practice test attached in the email. Can someone help?
