    Slaughter & May Winter workshop

    Tbf, as no travel arrangements etc need to be made I would say that 15 days is quite a long way away... Surely that means though that the scheme is after the TC deadline? That doesn't make sense as you will have to submit your application before the scheme starts?

    On their website it said they would be holding TC interviews between March and August so not for a while I would think!

    I found out I’d passed within 48 hours. Not sure they’re doing rolling recruitment this year so probably won’t hear back about ACs until the new year

    Congrats!! Can I ask when you applied/whether Law/Non Law? I think there’s quite a few write-ups of the Slaughters’ interview process on TCLA somewhere

    No it isn’t - there are 12 scenario questions (put your most and least likely response to X); 26 personality questions: 12 verbal reasonings (similar to a WG but not exactly the same). It is timed though so be aware of that! best of luck!

    No, I didn't - I just put in an application for a TC back in early October; yet to hear anything

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    I attended a Skadden webinar and the head of Grad Rec said that whilst they are reviewing applications on a rolling basis they are not making any decisions about who progresses until after the deadline.

    Slaughter & May Winter workshop

    I guess to a point but it does hire from a wide range of universities - what they care about more is grades, was on a application workshop and they do look for a 67,68 average (this was for the VS/TC, maybe it is a bit more lenient for the WW)

    It's 7 days from when you receive the test link but I am not sure if it is different when the 7th day is after the deadline. Maybe worth an email to Grad Rec?
