Slaughter & May Winter workshop
- Thread starter Elle
- Start date
I emailed to ask about when we’ll hear back and got this back:
“We apologise in the delay in getting back to you with regards to an outcome. Each application is processed individually and on a rolling basis, therefore I cannot confirm a date you will hear from us. Your application is being reviewed and you will receive an email with the outcome either way.”

Okay understood and I can see why that's frustrating.
In that case, I'm afraid I don't have much value to add here. It sounds like the firm is just floored with reviewing applications. As John said, I'd have your cover letters ready to go in case you hear back before the TC deadline.
Good luck guys! I hope you hear back soon.
Same! And the fact it’s on a rolling basis makes me think it might be too late...
Thank you for sharing this! Good luck everyone I hope we hear back soon.
Thought it might be useful to also share the response I received a while back from Grad recruitment when I was unsure whether to apply for the WW or go straight for TC:
"We are unable to accept an application for both the Winter workshop and a training contract at the same time. If you would like to apply for both, you should apply for the workshop first and, if you are unsuccessful you can submit a further application for a training contract. If you are successful in getting a place on the winter workshop and want to interview for a training contract, you would need to submit a training contract application, which would be fast tracked to interview stage and the interview will take place after the workshop. However, please note that we are unable to guarantee that there will be places left in the training contract vacancy.
However, we would like to assure you that it is not necessary to have completed a work experience scheme with us, or any other firm, in order to secure a training contract at Slaughter and May."
Hope this helps! I'm still waiting on my outcome too.

Sorry to hear about the rejection! What was your wait time for the BCLP rejection after submitting the application?
I didn't receive this email after applying, just a generic "thank you for your application" email
Does this mean if you get accepted, not much in your application needs to change when applying for the TC because you are already fast tracked to interview?
I think its because if you passed the screening for the winter workshop its assumed you’ll pass the screening for the TC so they don’t have to spend time reading your application twice x
I got rejected today. Applied on the 19th October.
Congrats both of you! I'm still yet to hear, but very happy people in this thread make it
I just got rejected so I guess that's all decisions made
