    Thanks Jessica - I'll guess I'll just have to see the written exerise on the day and make my decision then as to how to write it.

    Slaughter and May Written Exercise

    Thanks Jessica - so how would you recommend structuring it? Also, should I summarise anything for the client or not? If so, do I keep it very brief?

    Slaughter and May Written Exercise

    Hey guys, I have a Slaughter and May's Direct TC interview coming up. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to do the written exercise. People have been saying to use SWOT or Porter's Fives - does this just literally mean listing SWOT as separate headings and writing under them...

    How do Best Friend Law Firms Work?

    Hi guys! I have an interview coming up at Slaughter and May. One thing I've noticed is that they don't have international offices, and like Travers Smith, they have 'best friend' law firms whom they partner with. My question is, how does this really work in detail? Do they simply work with the...

    Question about CVs/Work Experience on Applications

    Hi all, I hope you are all well! I'm currently applying for direct TCs (I'm soon to graduate), but have one vacation scheme coming up in the summer. However, I want to hedge my bets and also apply direct (just in case I don't covert the TC). Although I haven't done it yet, what do you think...

    Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

    Hey guys, I did an interview at Goodwin Procter on the 7th March, and they said they would get back to me in 2 weeks, and that they did not have that many interviews to do. It's been two weeks and 1 day - should I email? Or am I being pedantic?

    Thanks so much for this! Regarding the open days, I had to apply for each one - it wasn't an open day where anyone could attend.

    Applying for a Direct Training Contract

    At the first interview with White & Case, they said I answered the majority of the competency ones well, and it came across that I really wanted to be a lawyer - but they said they couldn't accept me for the winter VS because of one question regarding teamwork. They said they weren't convinced...
