    I believe those with offers/ ACs already are people who have done things with the firm. Direct TC applicants will be considered after those people are dealt with!

    So sorry to everyone getting BM rejections.... I know it hurts more when you get rejected after passing that initial app stage. But you all did extraordinarily well to get that far so keep pushing 💥

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    I can’t believe I’ve been completely ghosted by Reed Smith.. applied in February and still not received the SST link. I’ve chased them and I meet their academic criteria so I have no clue 😞😞

    I heard they hold AC’s in August, but this is just word of mouth and may not be accurate! Good luck to you

    So sorry about that!! Literally so frustrating. I never heard back from them when I requested my WG score back in February either! :(

    If the direct TC route wasn’t for you then you would not have been sent the WG in the first place! Good on you for trying and I hope you get that break soon!

    No, I didn't receive a score for the WG part. Yes, I'm really not sure how much weight they put on the test. Or if your application is great, but your test score is slighter lower, if they still progress you for example. Good luck to you anyway :)

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I would say so! I submitted a successful application to NRF for direct TC and the only 'legal' work experience I have completed was online. An internship, insidesherpa etc but no formal vac scheme or solicitor shadowing for example. However, I think if you have non-legal work experience and...

    Do you mind if I ask how the test is? I'm normally not very good at these things and feeling quite apprehensive! Good luck to you anyway :)
