    As it wasn't a formal application process I would actually call them rather than send another email and say I was just wondering whether you've received it, had a chance to consider me etc. I got a insight week doing just that. It is easy for an email to be forgotten amongst other things and...

    Yes I think candidates mistakenly think it may be easier and on occasion it may be because there may indeed be fewer better candidates applying depending which office. Also I know some regional firms look for ties to that region as part of their criteria when assessing applications. This is...

    I am unsure why a wow face has been given to my comment . For the avoidance of any confusion I meant that usually if you apply for a regional place they aren't able to switch to London and indeed it is generally discouraged. Firms do not like people applying to regional offices in the hope...

    I think you have missed my point. Those London places will have always been London places.

    It is unlikely that a firm can accommodate this. They very much frown upon people applying to a regional office believing it to be an easier application route to try to switch to London once an offer is through.

    I assume for non-law grads the 2 years is to allow PGDL in year 1 and SQE year 2. So I always thought the law student might do their SQE in the second gap year so the trainees all starting together in 2027 would be studying SQE all together from September 2026?

    Yes mid-April to allow the ACs to take place at all offices and for decisions to be made for all offices and results at same time was what they said.

    The cover letter is usually only a page of A4 so actually covering those 3 things requires careful drafting. As for being generic sometimes it can be but the why law as a career can really only come from your experiences that led you to law and also why the firm too ro some extent. Unless...

    I don't think they are looking for both. They are looking for what you achieved at your specific uni. They recognise unis grade differently. At mine it was a % eg 72% At a friend's their modules were graded A-D. The classification usually is required when they ask for year 1, year 2 etc...
