It sounds like they do this in case candidates drop out of the AC, but I wouldn't hold my breath. You can follow up as it has passed those dates.- Jaysen

Yep that's what I mean - it does happen and I think it's okay to do what is right for you, especially if the firm isn't being flexible with the deadline. I can't say I know about the LPC course fees situation (but I doubt it).- Jaysen

1. I don't see a problem with this. 2. I think this is extremely unlikely. Sometimes grad recruitment move around, but they have better things to talk about. If anyone is in a position to go ahead with this, I just wouldn't go around shouting about it.- Jaysen

Usually I'm sympathetic on stuff like this (when law firms have a lot of power), but in this case I think it's very reasonable for a law firm not to want their future employees to be doing vacation schemes with rival law firms. It's different if you haven't accepted their TC offer though.- Jaysen

I very much doubt the firm would accept you completing another vacation scheme elsewhere (you are committing to a training contract at their firm). Regarding whether you should do it anyway, it does happen and it's a very individual...- Jaysen
