Has anyone heard back from Vinson & Elkins, Gibson Dunn, Weil, Travers, Macs, TLT, AG, Dentons, HFW or Boodle for direct TC (just the London offices)?
HFW are notoriously slow..last year it took me 6 months to receive my rejection. V&E and Gibson hire predominantly from their VS so check on LinkedIn if someone posted about getting a tc after thier VS. AG...not yet

    If it helps, you have to log onto your portal to check for an update on your AG and TLT apps. They don't send emails and it wasn't until I logged into my portal that I saw I was unsuccessful.

    Thanks for this. I've checked them both and neither have been updated. I'm sorry to hear you were rejected. Was that this cycle for London?

    Hi everyone,

    This time last year I was rejected for a TC after completing a vacation scheme at a firm I already worked at.. it left me really deflated and unmotivated. I thought a TC would just always be out of reach.

    Fast forward a year, I have today been offered a TC at Pinsent Masons!!! I could not have picked up the motivation to start applications again without the help of TCLA and so many of the wonderful individuals on here. So a huge huge thanks to everyone on here!

    Resilience really is key and I truly believe everyone will get there eventually!! to anyone struggling with motivation, KEEP GOING!
    Amazing!! Well done :)
