From AI to Energy Deals: Inside a Full-Service Law Firm with Osborne Clarke
8 Dec 2025 · 6pm (UK)
Zoom · Registration Required
You want to write a strong Osborne Clarke application — but what really makes the firm different, and how do trainees experience the work day-to-day?
In this session, you’ll hear directly from current trainees and Recruitment Advisor Patrick Fermin Ryan, so you can speak with clarity and specificity in your applications and interviews.
Yay! Mine just arrived at 12:32. Strange that they're being sent across such a wide time-frame. Do you think it's random, or when our application is being processed/looked at?
I'm trying not to panic about not receiving that email 😪
I put so much time and effort into the application, would be disappointed to be rejected so early on
I just got my Feedback Report through- it seems a lot more positive than the A&O report
i.e. plenty of strengths and only one area to work on, unlike A&O where every area needed improvement 😂
I'm hoping this means my application form will be reviewed
I like that firms are offering tailored...
Likewise, I'm glad we're all in the same boat. I was expecting more time to prepare for the question, but like you said, it's all a learning curve. Good luck to both of you guys :)
Hi all,
I've just finished my Latham & Watkins October open day application (submitted form and SJT).
Just wondering how others in a similar position feel it went? This was definitely the most challenging open day application I've ever submitted, so I'm not feeling overly optimistic.
It certainly is a jump scare 😂
I'm trying not to think about it until we get our results in a few weeks. It's out of our hands now!
Good luck to everybody!
Has anyone actually left the SJT and then returned to it? I was considering starting it tonight, then doing the video questions tomorrow, but I'm not sure if this is possible?
I booked a one to one chat with the Early Careers team a few weeks ago and they said you have until the deadline to complete the assessment. It's not timed, and you have between now & then to do it.
