    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    maybe you're right. A&O PFO received around an hour ago. I'm insanely disappointed - A&O was an imp one for me :/ This is my first cycle, I'm a penultimate year international law student so it's super hard to even be qualified to apply to VS and I have legal experience so I was thinking direct...

    oh, weird because I emailed them just a few days back and they said they don't. But I guess their Direct TC apps will open summer of 2024 as someone said on the forum so I'll apply then! Thanks, folks!

    As far as I know, L&W does not offer a direct TC route. Wanted to confirm here since I asked them if they sponsor visas for international students for VS and it was a negative so I'm a little bummed not being able to able to apply to the firm :/

    sorry to hear that. Good luck with your other applications! It can feel terrible to start the process all over again. I saw a story posted by TCLA on their Instagram yesterday - it was really encouraging :) Also, I'm curious as to why you think you messed up the VI? Any particular reason?

    quick Q: Is it still worth applying to S&M? I know it's a rolling deadline but I've done very little research on them before and have some notes. (I'm talking about the summer work ex. scheme)

    I got to know within 24 hours - I unfortunately did not clear it. I seriously needed so much time to think and felt that the time wasn't sufficient. Also, +1 that it was much harder than the practice tests. I'll continue to work on my WG strategy. Apart from more practice, what's a good way to...

    Hi, the only email I got from A&O was the "your feedback report" and nothing of the "next steps" sorta email - does that mean I did not pass the SJT? Or are they sending emails in batches? and if you did receive the email - when did you apply? I applied one day before the deadline and I haven't...

    For the Clifford Chance application, we need to complete the application and the WG once we receive the link - which is before the deadline and for the video interview section, we will know if we have reached that stage only after the deadline, correct? I was looking to confirm this as some...

    A&O website says they will get back to us the week of 4th Dec, 2023. Not sure when ACs might be held. Would appreciate any update! Also, I'm super nervous as I'm yet to complete the 2 video questions. Can someone tell me what the second question is? I'm preparing to send them tomorrow so having...

    Has anyone applied to the A&O 2025/ 2026 Training Contract? It says there will be 2 video questions and an assessment - I'm assuming the assessment is an SJT and I'm not sure what the 2 video questions might be. Are those Why A&O and Why Commercial Law? Could someone please help me identify that...

    This is helpful to know. I had a question specific to the Indian A&O scheme. I'm not sure if they have discontinued the Indian clerkship that used to exist. Plus, do they sponsor visas and travel/acc costs? And if the Indian clerkship doesn't exist separately, are we allowed to apply under the...
