Frequently Asked Questions

I am a Gold member already. How do I submit an application?

You can now submit your application through our new portal here.

Do you review other types of application?

Yes! We have experience reviewing applications for the following roles:

  • Applications to international offices (like Clifford Chance Middle East) and niche law firms
  • LLM applications
  • Paralegal applications
  • Other types of legal roles

When will my application be returned?

Send it to us by 4pm and we’ll return it the next working day. This excludes weekends, bank holidays and 5 working day reviews.

Will you keep my information confidential?

All applications submitted to TCLA for review are shared only with our application review team for the purposes of reviewing your application. We will not share your applications with anyone else. We store applications on our project management software for eight months so we can handle follow-up queries and cross-reference your future application reviews with any older submissions. Thereafter, they are deleted.

Do you review the work experience section or a CV?

If you would like your work experience reviewed, we can certainly do this, but this will count as its own separate review.

Our CV review is available as a separate service here.

Can you review multiple versions of the same application?

We would love to help and can provide a further review of an application if an additional review is purchased here.

How do I get more applications reviewed?

You can purchase additional appication reviews here.

    Feedback : Game changer

    Joshua gave extremely useful and detailed feedback, anpplicable other applications too.

    Prior to using this service, I got feedback on my application from multiple friends who are trainees at large corporate law firms, but the insights Joshua provided me with really added a completely new dimension to my answers.

    The price point might be steep, but it’s worth every penny. You’re probably going to end up spending it on a spontaneous night out anyways. Might as well put £60 on progressing your career instead.

    Feedback : Amazing!

    Gemma’s comments were super detailed, supportive and insightful! Felt like she had genuinely taken lots of time to edit and review my work, as well as write tailored notes that both talk me through what is missing but also help me to learn for the future. Thanks!

    Feedback : Thorough and Applicable Advice

    Lawrence thoroughly and accurately guided me through what I could improve on. He also picked up on consistent errors and suggested a framework for approaching application questions. I found help in all aspects of the application: Structure, information, and technique.

    Feedback : Excellent tailored feedback

    Gemma provided really clear feedback. Most importantly, it was also tailored to the firm I was applying to. I was pleasantly surprised to find that what I had received was actually ‘line-by-line’ feedback, as advertised. Couldn’t recommend this service enough!
