Slaughter and May Training Contract Application 2022

[Alice G]

Anyone know the best way to phrase a follow up email?

I guess it depends what you’re following up on but if you are emailing for an update regards the recruitment process, I’d really advise everyone to sit tight. I know it’s awful to wait but they’ll probably be getting so many emails and truthfully may not have the answers themselves just yet as things are very uncertain. Slaughters I think are also trying to do things online as best as they can (think virtual vacs and they did the recent bright network internship I think- but don’t quite me!!) which is no doubt taking some serious time to prepare and coordinate so it’s best to just bear with firms right now and just sit tight if they’ve indicated the process is still ongoing.

I know this is difficult advice as I really empathise with how you are feeling but I think it’s probably for the best to wait for them to get in touch.

Ah lucky you! I’ve heard different things but I’m assuming right after ur application you were invited to the assessment day? How long did it take to hear back and how did you prepare for the assessment day? Thanks! ☺️

Hi everyone, has anyone received any form of post-app feedback from Slaughter and May?

Hi everyone, has anyone received any form of post-app feedback from Slaughter and May?

not yet! only them asking for my final year grade/updated cv

I know 2 people(penultimate years heading into final year) who had S&M ask them for an update of their grades. Pretty worried as I am also in the same position as them, yet haven't received this email(which isn't automated). I did tell(email) them my results are TBA after the deadline if that makes any difference.

I saw that somebody got rejected but that’s about it.

I emailed them to update them with my second-year grades when I got them last week and I got a confirmation that they updated my file but haven't heard anything since

Exactly two weeks after I submitted my application I received an interview invite, and then exactly one week after the interview I received an offer However, timings etc should be taken with a pinch of salt as everyone hears back at different times, and the pandemic obviously isn't helping with any delays etc

How long did they take to reply with the confirmation email? I am a bit worried that I haven't heard back after sending my grades.

 

[JayB]

Has anyone heard back from Slaughter & May?

Anyone know if Slaughter and May holds their assessment centres around the same time every year? Like if they get back to us is it likely that we’ll have our assessment in August?

I heard back today, they asked me to update them on my results(2nd year),and they said they will fill that in the application.

I doubt they usually start holding ACs this late, they recruit on a rolling basis and open 1st June so I would assume under normal circumstances, people would have had ACs and offers in July, perhaps even sooner. I say that to say that we probably can't use their process under normal circumstances to judge this current cycle. However, since they have started to reject people last week, I am sure that some people will hear back positively next week or the week after and have their Acs mid-end of August, but I am just speculating.

I've heard the team is quite backlogged bc of the pandemic and I know they are having a virtual VS this week so I think that mid-end August is probably a good shout for ACs
