Weil Training Contract Application 2025

[taylorkelce]

Hello all!

Hope everyone is progressing well with their Training Contract (TC) processes.

I have set up this forum to allow applicants to keep track of updates specifically related to the Weil TC applications for the 2025 programme.

Please share your current status, i.e., whether you have not yet applied, or have submitted the application and are either awaiting a response or have heard back etc.

Looking forward to speaking with you all

Thanks

Hi! It's great you've made this for us all to stay in contact.

I applied on 31/7 and unfortunately I still haven't heard back. I'm really tempted to just call Weil and ask when we'll hear back but I know it probs won't help my chances of success. It's likely not a great sign that I haven't heard back yet but I am not giving up, I'll just try not to obsess over a response and distract myself by researching other firms and preparing for winter vacation schemes.

BTW what other firms are similar to Weil in your opinion? I'm thinking maybe K&E, Latham, Skadden, MoFo and Davis Polk will be good alternatives if all else fails.

No, I suspect they have filled the spaces with VS participants.

I thought we were meant to hear back by the end of this week lol I know it is a rejection at this point, but would be nice of them to communicate this nonetheless

 

[Marco Polo]

The lack of communication is a bit of a bummer

This is a sign to me that they are not the one, clearly they don't respect me as an applicant so I no longer respect them as a firm, Just like W&C.

I get the frustration of not hearing, but sometimes firms just don’t have an update for you.

It’s not about disrespect to the candidate, it is just that there isn’t a message to give. I’ve lost count how many times I would have liked to have updated candidates but I wasn’t in a position where I could.

Hi Jessica,

So you would say there is still a chance we might hear back ?

Yes - there can be a whole multitude of reasons why you haven’t heard back and will do eventually outside of bad communication from the firm.
