Does anyone know how long it normally takes for Slaughter and May to get to you after submitting a TC application?

Has anyone heard back from Baker McKenzie for their open day on 14th September?

A heads up for those awaiting a response from Macs, I have just seen (what I think to be) the first direct TC offer from the first virtual assessment centre just come up on my LinkedIn. I have been out of the TCLA and LinkedIn loop for some time due to work, so please correct me if I've missed the boat here .

Those applying to AO, how did you list all the university modules when the total number of them exceeds 25 (Gosh I hate AOs' application portal)

I didn't have this problem as I didn't exceed this number, but maybe send an email to HR? I share your hate for the portal haha...I ended up filling in the form 3 times because it didn't save any of my entries even though I had pressed save to return to the form later.

Is this for 2022 or 23?

Think they said that they'd get back to everyone by the 7th on the email!

Out of curiosity, how can we find out which firms lawyers lateral hire in and out of? It would be interesting to know if there was any way of seeing trends/stats outside of the normal google search

not really any information like this available unfortunately

 

[G1996]

I am happy for you..did you find out on the portal?

Thanks! I received two emails - one from the Grad Rec team and then another with a link to the portal for the VI. I have accepted another TC offer though, so told them I was withdrawing from the process so they could offer it to someone else ! I hope you hear something soon

For the Clifford Chance 2023 TC, it says they are prioritising penultimate year law students - does this mean that you are not prioritised as a final year law student?

I think so, I believe you'll only be sent the Watson Glaser in December

2023! For the Law Students/Graduates application

Last year I remember that people who'd applied for that window were getting TC offers in November, so I think you'll hear back maybe in October?

Hi

Has anyone on this forum had any experience applying to the Government Legal Department? I have an Assessment Day in a few weeks. Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
