Anyone know what percentage (I.e is it worth apply DTC to them) these firms take from their DTC:
- BCLP
- Dentons
- Paul Hastings
- White and Case
- Macfarlanes
- Stephenson harwood
- Sullivan cromwell
- K&L gates
I think Paul Hastings is 100% DTC. They have a SVS (Phirst Steps) but I don’t believe it leads to a TC offer like a normal VS would. 🥲

Macfarlanes and SH are around 50%. White & Case is 20%. I think BCLP is similar, but most of their offers go to VS’ers. 😅

Not too sure about S&C or K&L. I think it would always be worthwhile to apply for DTC at any firm tbh. Best of luck with them all! 😀​

    Just putting some numbers together based on Legal Cheek, looks like it's around 12 TCs at Paul Hastings, 15 at Macfarlanes, 12 at Stephenson Harwood, 10 at White & Case, and 4 at BCLP. Agreed, apply for the DTC!
