Ah okay! If you don't mind sharing, do you know what the AC date slots look like? I'm considering making an application next week and was wondering if its too late
No worries! I only saw their invite 2 hours after they sent it and when I went to book a time the only slot available was 10 Jan... I'm fairly certain all the later slots were booked up but I wouldn't take that as all the AC slots being filled because the direct TC deadline isn't until 31 Jan. I'm pretty sure they'll open up AC dates as they get more applications in so I'd still apply if I were you!

Thanks so much! Very helpful :) I'll go ahead and apply then!

Hi, I would like to ask how much work experience is generally required before a law firm will consider a candidate for a direct TC? Is 1 year and a half considered to be sufficient? Would like to hear insights from @Jessica Booker as well. Thanks in advance :) I appreciate it.

You don’t need a year and a half - a lot of people will only have a matter of months combined through part time jobs, internships etc.

    Anyone have any idea (perhaps from applying in the past) what radio silence from Allen overy direct TC means?

    I passed SJT early December
    I had a similar wait and checked my portal earlier this afternoon to find I had been rejected 3 days ago. The rejection email came through literally a minute after I had checked. Not to say it will be the same result for you but that was my experience :)
