Hi @Crystal86, Thank you for the question! Slaughters is a fantastic firm. To help the community (and me) in guiding you, it would be useful to know a bit of context. For example, what are your thoughts so far?- George Maxwell

@LongSufferingLawGrad this is fantastic news! I did not realise you had been successful with your W&C application!! So first, I need to post a celebratory gif: Second, the WVS is likely to be different to the Spring scheme that I did. GR will tell you when you start (in my experience they...- George Maxwell

You are absolutely welcome @jamesfp I am glad that you found it helpful. 🥳 I would definitely advise going into the office as much as you can.

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi @futuretraineesolicitor, Just some thoughts on the above: 1a. I think this depends on how much you have to talk about. It would be helpful to describe, briefly/to give context for specific achievements (unless they are self-explanatory). It really is a matter of word count and how many...- George Maxwell

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
Hi @jamesfp, First of all, huge congratulations for getting on the scheme. I am sure you know, but W&C get a scary number of applicants for each place they have on their vacation schemes, so it really is a massive achievement to have got this far. Second, I really loved the firm. As a result...- George Maxwell

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
Hi @AW_08, I am really sorry to hear this. If it helps, I never applied to a WVS (only Spring and Summer!). You really do have plenty of time left this cycle. You are arguably in an even better position than I was too because you have applications written which you can iterate and improve...- George Maxwell

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi @futuretraineesolicitor, I know that @Jessica Booker has responded to this already. However, to provide a little insight from my experience, in these situations, I would just email GR directly.
