Career changer - strategy
Hi there, I’m a career changer too, though came from children’s services. My route to the law has been highly unorthodox…! I have a TC for a firm beginning September 2022. For what it’s worth here’s some advice..! Play to your strengths. You might need to accept that magic circle firms aren’t...- BJPP

Terms of Training Contract
Firm got back to me and said they’d pay. They also don’t care where I do my LPC and don’t care about electives “we see it as a chance for you to explore areas of the law you’re really interested in rather than feeling like you need to fit in with our objectives. We’re a full service firm so it’s...- BJPP

Terms of Training Contract
Thanks Matt - did that for the GDL (I did an LLM QLD) so - nope! I was under the impression firms just paid and naturally you were liable to pay back the fees if you failed or left or whatever… but not this way around!- BJPP

Terms of Training Contract
Hi all, I’ve just received my training contract offer to sign and it seems that although my firm will pay my LPC fees - it’s done retrospectively once I start in September 2022. I.e I need to foot the bill outright initially… How common is this? I now find myself looking around for that spare...- BJPP
