Does anyone know when the direct TC apps for NRF open?

 

[Jacob Miller]

Guys, as I am new to TCLA and don't know much about this platform and its history much other than Jaysen reason for starting this amazing platform, thank you for this.

I got a message on Linkedin this morning from someone called Jonathan Simnett who said that he is an executive at TCLA I dunno if that is true or not maybe @Jaysen would know about this. He invited me to a webinar about M&A and technology. Has anyone else heard of him also I am sorry if I sound dumb and stupid here.

There's another group I've noticed recently called 'The Commercial Law Academy' who may use the 'TCLA' acronym; it may have been these guys.

They closed on Dec 13

I was just about to ask if you guys want me to take it off 🤣

I'd say either go big or go home. This one heart is lonely af. Either give the poor guy some friends or end his misery.

No, it said the corporate law academy but no worries I passed it onto Jaysen. Also if there is another TCLA potential IP Law claim to sue because TCLA slogan belongs to Jaysen.

Did Reed Smith offer feedback to everyone rejected at the research question stage? I thought their website says they don’t offer feedback at that stage lol

To clarify, I just got an e-mail offering a feedback call. Also, am I allowed to now apply for the summer scheme?

For your research questions? That is very intriguing. I've not heard of grad rec doing that before.

 

[SecretSantaxx]

Congratulations! Is this for the summer VS?

Thanks! Yes it is.

I don’t think so. But you can reapply in the next recruitment cycle if unsuccessful at application stage according to their website’s FAQs

 

[Law200]

Just wondering how many firms per cycle most people apply to? Been applying for a while now with good academics and work experience and not getting many ACs at all. Feels impossible!

You got an email offering feedback post questions or post interview? I’m confused... I haven’t got that email

Applied to 23 firms this cycle, 13 rejections, 2 offers, waiting on the rest. Take heart!

Post questions

 

[Matt_96]

Can you do some investigation on behalf of the curious members of the TCLA community? Just take them up on their offer and see what happens. Maybe you got very close to an interview invite but had to be cut due to limited numbers and this is their way of telling you? Alternatively, it could be a mistake? I feel very invested now. I must know what happens next!
