TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
- Thread starter Jessica Booker
- Start date
I think invitations might be next week, in their email they said beginning of March
hello everyone!
I hope you’re doing okay, this application cycle has been brutal
I'm starting a legal internship in March and was wondering how long I should wait before sending my other DTC applications. I was thinking of sending them by the beginning of May, but I'm worried that some firms might close their application windows early, like NRF did this year.
Any advice or insights is greatly appreciated!!

NRF didn't close their application window early, they never opened it. They advertised that they would open it at a certain date, but never did. That's very different than closing applications early. Even rolling firms rarely do the latter (only Jones Day has for their WVS)hello everyone!

I interviewed at Freshfields on the 14th and got a TC offer earlier this week
Good luck to those still waiting

This firm looks interesting 👀 good luck!
Apart from obviously prepping lots of commercial sports knowledge and sports news stories that might affect their business. Maybe read a 1-2 CAS hearings. I reckon showing a genuine interest in sports might help build a rapport in the partner interview too.
The tasks might involve M&A, negotiation, something to do with player transfers etc., sports arbitration, employment, commercial contracts and areas like this.
congratulations and thanks for letting us know! must be good to feel a sense of relief
I wonder why they didn’t open for DTC this year. Have they permanently axed it, meaning they’ll only ever recruit from VS in future? 🥲
They've been slowly transitioning into a vac scheme only firm I'm afraid
I think I read somewhere they said that due to the increase in number of applications to their vac schemes they were confident they would be able to fill all TC vacancies from those applicants so would not therefore be opening a direct TC route this year.
