    Recommended Assessment Centres for SQE2

    I recommend Stratford, the staff don't do much but because it's an actual Pearson Vue centre it's well equipped. The centre also can't fit many people so it doesn't get really noisy and you don't need to queue for ages to sign up.

    How I managed working as a paralegal alongside SQE1

    I work 4 days a week as a trainee and do the SQE 1 day a week with BPP. I find this hard to fit around work as the BPP course content is a lot, it's not really tailored to multiple choice questions for 10+ modules and seems to be almost identical to the LPC material (which has much less...

    Advice for Dentons AC?

    Hi I haven't heard back yet. I don't want to share the specific scenario just to pay but you're along the right lines. More about the role of a solicitor than actual points of law.

    I'm not sure. I haven't spoken to other people that interviewed.

    Advice for Dentons AC?

    Hi I would say you need to know a fair amount. Or have really good business common sense. The interviewers do guide you but I honestly don't know how you could do that without any commercial law knowledge. I've been asked about derivatives and private equity in other interviews, some of these...

    Advice for Dentons AC?

    Hi. I've just done it. For the written exercise I would say plan your time really well, make sure you have enough time to write but read as in depth as possible. I was asked questions on the details within the documents for the exercise. For the second part (case study/interview) I would...

    Should I renege on a 2022 TC offer to train at a better firm in 2024?

    It definitely is only better because of prestige. I think I would much prefer a long term career at the firm with the 2022 offer. Law is pretty elitist so I don't want people to look down on me because of where I trained.

    Should I renege on a 2022 TC offer to train at a better firm in 2024?

    Thanks. They're both city firms but the 2024 one is a really big well known firm. They both offer the seats I want. That's a good point you mentioned about not being their long enough to recoup the salary. I wouldn't mind that but I think the 2024 offer wants me to do 1 year SQE.

    Should I renege on a 2022 TC offer to train at a better firm in 2024?

    I am a graduate who has been waiting some years to start their legal career. I now have an offer to start this year however a much better firm has offered me a 2024 intake? The 2024 intake would mean that I wouldn't be earning any money whilst studying the SQE and after working for a few years...
