earlier on the thread, someone did say that they spoke to slaughters around the beginning of dec and that their grad rec team was pausing looking at direct tcs until feb so it should be soon-ish

I applied to Slaughter TC in early OCTOBER - scared my application has been forgotten or something haha. Should I email and ask?

Hi Asil,

The question makes a big reference to personal reasons so I would focus on the reasons the global approach at BMK is important to you. If you'd like to make a reference to the firm's competitors (like W&C), I would keep it very brief and look at it from the angle of considering why Bakers are able to offer something different from their competitors to you as opposed to focusing on a more generic competitive advantage point. Also would like to caution against the language point generally. aving lawyers that speak a wide range of languages isn't exactly unique to global firms anymore.

Hello Dheepa,


Thank you for this and I see what you mean and I agree with you I have to make it personal to me.

Does anyone who applied to the DWF Vacation Scheme or TC and successfully passed the application stage pls get into contact with me ?

Congrats!! And thanks so much for letting us know, I’m in exactly same boat (in terms of updated a while back and didn’t hear anything), good to know I can keep up hope!

PFO from Hogan Lovells a day after submitting the WG. I suspect it was due to not meeting the grade boundary - do HL send the WG report upon request?
