    LPC or SQE?

    Many thanks, Jessica! To be honest, I never considered the GDL/LPC route outside a TC contract. I applied for TCs in order to (1) avoid self-funding the QLTS and (2) minimize the risk of qualifying through QLTS and then not being able to find an associate position because I would compete with...

    Hi Jessica, I have some questions triggered by your last sentence above and I would very much appreciate your view on these. Apologies in advance for this long post: I studied and qualified in an EU jurisdiction and I immediately started working as an associate at the EU office of a MC firm. I...

At my uni to get a first somebody has to be in the top 5% of the class (we were about 400 students per year). Does a first also mean top 5-10% of...

    Commercial Awareness Discussion Thread

    Why would you have your shares just sit there? By lending them you can get some extra income in the meantime (ie the fees payable by the borrower). Of course, there is the risk of not getting the shares back because the counterparty is unable to buy them back (what happened), but in normal times...
