    Has anyone applied for a direct TC at Macfarlanes? Their website says that the deadline for 2026 intake is July but when I click on the form linked in FAQ it takes mo to the TC 2025 application with a deadline 8th of Jan. Anyone know if they're still recruiting for 2025?

    @lawtab I think this must be a glitch because they're non-rolling and the website states 15th Jan
