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...- Sarai

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.- Sarai

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...- Sarai

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...- Sarai

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.- Sarai

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.- Sarai

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...- Sarai

City firm has offered to interview me for a TC immediately after a Vac Scheme offer.
I think you should go down the direct TC route. If the firm offered you that option it means they don't believe you need additional experience in order to get the TC. Don't disqualify yourself, there's a lot of transferable skills from your hospitality job and other interests that can be helpful...- Sarai
