They wouldn’t find out unless you told them.Thanks @Jessica Booker ! As a follow up question, if they do find out that I have already accepted a TC, will I be automatically rejected?
Congrats on the VI. Can I ask when you applied please? I’m still waiting post app🤨Anyone heard back from AG after voice interview? Can't cope with this waiting game 🤣 Also, does anyone know when the assessment center is likely to be?
Thanks so much! I actually submitted my application on the deadline day so the 31st of July (last minute I know haha), which office have you applied for? I know people still waiting for Manchester but I have applied for Scotland so may be slightly different time frames!Congrats on the VI. Can I ask when you applied please? I’m still waiting post app🤨

I did my 23rd July!!!!! I was in the first batch of tests and NOTHINGsame :/ i did the test on 7 August
I know same. I’m just confused at their process and wish they would update and reject if it’s bad newsHey I am in the same position as you... and I am starting to get worried now.
Not at all. Can I ask when you did yours? I did mine last Tues, no word since. But others have done it as slightly later and heard back on the day(no positive outcomes IIRC!)Has anyone heard from Hogan Lowells after the WG?
I think it was 2 August. 🤞that no news is good news!Not at all. Can I ask when you did yours? I did mine last Tues, no word since. But others have done it as slightly later and heard back on the day(no positive outcomes IIRC!)
Only PFOs I believe. I got mine a couple days ago post-WG.Has anyone heard from Hogan Lowells after the WG?
Hello! This is excellent advice and a great summary- may I ask when you're talking about 'macro', is it just a more general topic? Eg: China's regulatory crackdown, agile working etc.Generic advice here, but always have at least a few commercial stories to discuss in depth:
4 Key stories to have in the bank:
1: I normally research in depth one ‘macro’/ wide ranging issue (i.e inflation, crypto regulation, Brexit etc ), and consider effects on clients/the firm.
2. then another topic on something that is tied to the firm’s key practice area in a more niche way (I.e trends in private equity)
3. A key deal or piece of litigation that interests you (I spoke about the GameStop fiasco/retail investors uprising in my last interview).
4. A deal/piece of work that the FIRM itself has worked on that you found interesting-forgot this in my first interview- never again!
Lastly, go over personal strengths and motivations. Scrutinise and create succinct answer for your motivations for why law, why this firm, and reflect on on past experiences and think about what you contributed/learnt from them and why that would make you a good trainee.
Thank you. I believe in March sometime...Hey congrats! When did you apply?
Oh I see thank you!Trowers & Hamlins have re-opened their direct TC application with a new deadline on 31/08/2021.
(Trowers & Hamlins Online Application Form (apply4law.com)) - if anyone wants to give a last shot to secure a TC.
No I haven't - I applied April the 20th haha.Has anyone heard from RPC post-VRT? I know they said 31 August, but surely they must be contacting some applicants?
It always is at times of recession. The job market tightens and people who would have considered other careers tend to lean towards law because it’s one of the more stable entry point careers.I've seen a lot of people say that competition for training contracts this year has been particular hard and competitive. Have you all found this to be true compared to previous years (this has been my first year applying)? And do you think it'll get even more competitive from now on?
