    Hi @ReedSmithBecca Good morning! Hope you're well. Regarding the DTC, would you still encourage me to apply if I don't have a vacation scheme or formal legal work experience in the UK? Do candidates without this background face automatic rejection, or are other factors considered? Best, Gin

    Hi! Question here again. Is it wise to apply for Stephenson Harwood's DTC without legal experience in the UK? Since the deadline is 31st July, I suppose people who failed to convert their VS will also apply. Does anyone know if SH places a high value on legal experience? Is it still worth giving...

    Guys after this application cycle I am very confused... What are considered to be good extracurriculars? Do you need to have a summer internship in renowned banking/consulting/financial service firms, and does it still count if it's not in the UK? Also do you need to do something really niche...

    No I said I won't have chance bc of my personal situation, not the firm. I think it's a good sign that you haven’t received anything yet! Good luck. Wish you get invited to the AC!

    Applied on 31st March and test done on 7th April. My top strengths are Incisive and Explainer but probably not the ones the firm is looking for. I have no idea but since I won't have chance to apply for this firm again I'll just let it be 😭.

    Withers PFO. I now feel maybe it's better not to apply for DTC with no legal experience? Confused again.
