Is there a point applying to Stephenson Harwood DTC? Does anyone know how many trainees they recruit via that route and if it is rolling or non-rolling? Thanks
I believe I know of a couple of people that have gotten TCs through this route at the firm. If a firm wouldn’t recruit many people via that route/ or even one person at all, the portal will close and a notice will be sent out to applicants letting them know.

The way I also like to see situations like this is - for example, even if they are recruiting just one person… it could be you right?

Have that mindset and throw that application in!

As for SH specifically, it says “We review applications on a rolling basis but never make offers to fill all our places before the application deadline.”

Hi Amma,

I’m more after commercial awareness/recent developments in the sector!

Hey, that’s great to hear! These links should help.
