I would look at the interview section/guide on here for TS. Their process hasn’t changed for a while, so in addition to the more recent comments...
One of the more relaxed interviews, as far as interviews can be. The Partners make a real effort to put you at ease and have a conversation. Know your CV well, be able to back up choice, and be prepared to answer the typical why Law, why TS.
Be prepared to get into a mini debate and be pushed on your point of view. So have an opinion and don’t sit on the fence. There aren’t any right or wrong answers. It’s more about how you can think about issues, consider new points/variables.

Thank you

How long do you find you're expected to talk about why corporate law?

A couple of minutes, if that. I'd say try to make two to three clear points.

Same thing for a friend and I, I did send their HR an email this afternoon, so will let you know if they respond with any waiting periods.

Thank you! Yes I’m wondering whether to email or ring today! Feel like probably a no though.

Also anyone who hadn’t heard from Jones Day that had applied for winter, I just received an email saying they are now inviting me to interview but for my second choice- summer.

Congrats on the interview! (Even though it's for summer.)

Heya, just wondering if you had received a response? I wrote to head of grad recruitment on Friday morning and haven’t heard anything.
