    Hi Kevin We do still indeed consider LPC results and won't ask candidates to complete the SQE 2 until it becomes mandatory. Regarding the modules, I would recommend completing the modules that you enjoy and will do well in!

    Hi Nidhi Unfortunately, we can't sponsor visas for our Vacation Scheme, but we do for our Training Contract. Regarding your intake year, this would depend on whether you will receive an English qualifying law degree or not. If so, then yes 2027 would be fine, but if not, then you would need to...

    Hi Nidhi Thanks for your questions! Answers below :) 1) I think I have answered this one above 2) There are many skills that a Trainee needs to display to be a good lawyer; humility and the willingness to learn is really important at BCLP - your Training Contract is essentially two years of on...

    Hi Amwene I wouldn't say we see any cliches per se, but there are common mistakes people make such as spelling, grammatical errors, getting the firm's name wrong, not including enough detail to mention a few.

    HI Ayush Yes, we look at applications for our open day on a rolling basis, so you can expect to hear back soon. With regards to research, we would recommend that you pick two or three practice areas that are of interest to you and really focus in on the why - this could be exposure to that...

    Hi J To start with, we certainly would not consider the above to be the case - the experience you have gained in your previous roles is extremely valuable in terms of building the skillset required to be a lawyer. That being said, we look for a range of legal and non-legal work experience, so...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Hi there, The transcript section of the application form is for those who were educated abroad and can't fill out their grades in the usual academic section of the application form, so please don't stress if this is left blank when you submit your application!

    We have already begun interviewing for our Spring Vacation Scheme and will look to start on our Summer scheme soon, so I would recommend sooner rather than later to avoid missing out!

    Hi Daniel We spend a lot of time speaking to our US Emerging Talent colleagues, so we are both fully clued up on how each other's route to qualification works :) When we go through our qualification process, Trainees apply to the practice area they would like to qualify into and then there is...

    Hi Runsim With regards to our online test, this is a strengths based assessment based on a candidate's own natural strengths, so it is difficult to fully prepare for. When candidates are sent the link for the online assessment, they are sent a link to the Cappfinity practice hub, which provides...

    Hi Gisela We tend to recruit mainly from our Vacation scheme, however, we do leave some places left for those who apply to our direct Training Contract who are unable to take part in our Vacation scheme due to work commitments, childcare, visa restrictions etc.

    Hi there, We give applicants up to 500 words on each question, but that doesn't mean that applicants have to use all of this! This is also the only chance an applicant gets to display their written communication skills, so it is essential that you show these off! With regards to how to...
