    SQE Resit Policy by Law Firm

    I’ve also seen Slaughter and May has ‘taken similar action’ to CMS and CC but they said “each instance is assessed on a case-by-case basis.” https://www.legalcheek.com/2024/03/cms-and-slaughters-latest-firms-to-withdraw-tc-offers/

    If you know you definitely prefer the direct TC firm then I would say there’s no point. But if you’re not sure, and still considering the other firms then it could be worth completing the vacation schemes to help with your decision

    I think this post has some relevance, not sure which US firms you were referring to, but if they recently started recruitment this might be part of why you’ve seen that trend? https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/ask-willkie-farr-gallagher-anything.4439/post-152818

    I applied in September and haven’t heard anything. When I emailed in January they said if you haven’t heard your application is still under consideration, but I’ve seen some offers on here and LinkedIn so I’m not hopeful

    D&I and Representation

    That’s true, but in higher education generally there’s a higher proportion of female students, so even with non law applicants the same probably applies https://www.hesa.ac.uk/news/25-01-2022/sb262-higher-education-student-statistics/numbers
