For context, I secured my TC through the Direct TC route at my firm after a year as a paralegal and completing a few vacation schemes, so I'd say it's definitely possible with your background. When applying for the DTC route, it's important to be able to confidently draw on your past experiences and show how they demonstrate the skills and attributes that Linklaters will be looking for at the assessment centre. You'll likely have to complete a range of assessments at the AC as well (e.g. written tasks, group exercises, and case study interviews), so it's worth making sure that you feel confident with these - especially as DTC assessment centres can be more competitive.The vacation scheme is really useful if you'd like to learn more about the firm and gain first-hand experience, but if the DTC fits better for you, I'd say go for it! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
