Still haven’t been asked to do the Clyde and Co VI, applied 19th October, when should I start thinking about emailing grad rec ?? The VI is automatic isn’t it??

In my opinion, it’s probably going to be a rejection if we don’t hear anything by the end of the week 😅

really?? I've not really noticed people getting AC invitations either though. Also I assumed they would send out PFO's first ??

Last year I was rejected after they were done with ACs.

Proud to finally say I have accepted a training contract offer with Slaughter & May. It has definitely been a rollercoaster of a journey, I cannot thank TCLA enough especially @Jaysen and @Jessica Booker on their valuable tips and advice along the way!! ☺️☺️

Wish everyone the best of luck this cycle. Rooting for each and one of you!!!

If anyone needs help and support on AC preparation or general tips and tricks, my inbox is always open.

Hi there, sorry that I can’t answer your question, but I was wondering whether they said anything to you about where they are with applications at your interview?

Hi all,

I have an AC for A&O tomorrow and was wondering whether anyone who has done it this year or before knows whether the firm expects the case study presentation to be delivered as a Powerpoint or just verbally. I can't seem to find any information on the website but it seems like a very short amount of time to be able to draft a powerpoint. Thanks!

Hi there. No PowerPoint, it will be a verbal presentation. There will be no time to do a ppt. I recommend you stay calm as they give you loads of info, so try not to be overwhelmed/panicked.

Does anyone know if Latham & Watkin's SJT is given to those who have passed the application round or if it's automatically sent to everyone who applied?

I think it is automatic

Anyone heard back from Dechert post written exercise ?

Is this for the Winter scheme? Just wondering if they only send the WG invites after the application deadline has passed
