Guys,

Could you suggest some resources to learn about crypto? I need to prepare some material for a workshop and my small brain needs something very easy to understand.
Love you all

There's a really great podcast episode on Spotify with BrightNetwork and Chris Stoakes (author of 'All You Need to Know About the City') called 'Thinking Commercially' where he breakdowns blockchain, NFTs and their implications on the legal sphere. The podcast is great on the whole to improve knowledge and stay up to date! I'll link it below:

Episode 13 - balancing the UK economy, NFTs, China's property market & the pub

Listen to this episode from Thinking Commercially on Spotify. It's a brand new year and in this episode of Thinking Commercially, Chris and Ben discuss how the UK can find balance in the economy, NFTs and why it's a popular investment, China's property market's recent troubles and what's next...

Hope it's helpful!

Anyone have any idea what BCLP's first round interview is like? Is it commercial/competency?

I am thinking of applying for a paralegal role at the same firm that I am waiting for an answer from for a vacation scheme application (post-app - I have not been invited to interview yet). Is this ok? - would it have any impact on my vacation scheme application?

They are two different teams, the HR is different from the GR team and they have two different hiring models.

This isn't true at all law firms - sometimes the recruitment teams recruit for all roles, so support staff, trainees and laterals.

Heavily competency-based and motivational.

I completely forgot to submit the written part of my AC and the grad rec emailed me today to complete it (it was due 6 days ago and my life has gotten so hectic that I just forgot to do it)

Well fully anticipating a PFO now 😩
