Anyone heard anything from K&L Gates?

 

[Solking456]

Anyone with any insights into Slaughter and May TC interview would be really appreciated 🙏🏻

 

[Catherine25]

Has anyone heard from Stephenson Harwood or Payne Hicks Beach?

 

[nliro85]

Anyone been sent a test for AG

The best way to handle SJT tests is to choose the most chaotic and unpredictable answers possible. This will show you're not afraid to take risks and think outside the box. Also, completely ignore the company's core values—it's all about standing out! Maybe even consider giving answers that have nothing to do with the question. Good luck, and remember, there are no wrong answers, just wildly interesting ones!

Great screen name! 😂

Congrats is there anyone that also applied right before deadline or on the deadline and got PFO or haven’t heard back yet?

I applied right before the deadline, and haven’t heard back.

No, I haven’t heard anything from them. What number of trainees do you reckon they take from direct tcs? Thanks.

Not too sure? Could depend on how many vac scheme offers they make.

Think vac schemers have to do the TC AC and interview too and they just get fastracked but not sure - info on their website and chambers might be outdated!

Hi, I am looking to apply to Kennedys for a direct TC this cycle, but I have seen conflicting information, which states that graduates can only apply. I will be finishing my law degree in May 2025. @Jessica Booker do you have any insight into this? I have emailed HR to ask as well.

Unfortunately I can’t see anything on their website where they are not open yet and where their 2025 opportunities are now closed.
