2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

[Osh]

So I have an Slaughter TC interview and originally I thought I had booked it for December but turns out its for February. Any one else with TC interview for 2020 or are most all scheduled for 2021?

Hi, this is the same email I received, however because I have applied before I got a second email stating that I will not be processed to application review at the moment but if my application is considered I will find out 'after 14 December' if not I will find out no later than 18 December. So I am not sure what one to go by, it maybe depends on if you have already done WG?

Aha that makes perfect sense! So they will be deciding by today which of the non-targets they want to do a WG, which will be competed in 2 days and then mean that by the 18th they can review all non-targets they want to look at (those with previous WGs, their who have just done a WG) and then proceed. Thanks so much for that!

Great news for you, in terms of still having a strong chance! Good luck

I can’t really answer the question sorry. But they do say that when you interview in the period does not impact your chances. One of the partners said ‘if we want to hire you we will’ meaning if they have filled up all their spots but still want you they will give you an offer. Just think of it as more time to prepare!

Haha definitely not an explanation, I could be totally off but it seems to me to be the most likely scenario! Good luck!

Are there any people applying for a TC at Freshfields? I’m currently finishing off my personal statement but would really appreciate a second opinion / advice on how I could improve! I’d be more than happy to review someone else’s personal statement as well

Hey, I am more than happy to give a second opinion!

Mine was also meant to be in December but I had to push it back to February! I spoke to GR about it and they said it makes no difference, and one of my best friends got offered her TC from Slaughters in Feb. I reckon we'll be fine (as long as the AC goes well haha), best of luck!!

They take absolutely ages and they aren't doing TC interviews again until February so will be a month or so at the earliest before you hear back!

Does anyone know where I can find a full breakdown of Allen and Overy values before the SJT? I can't seem to see any of this on their website?

 

[h2020]

has anyone heard back from Slaughter for a direct TC?
