Ask Alice G (Future Trainee at Freshfields) Anything!
I think you're such a great example of someone who identified an area they struggled with and actively sought public speaking opportunities to combat it - even if they were very scary at the time.

I like @Ricky's advice here - I'd keep practicing under timed conditions before the real thing. You're also welcome to try our mock case studies (legal and M&A) which were based on two law firm written exercises. We're no longer able to mark these, but it can still be useful to attempt.- Jaysen

^ this I know it's hard not to look at the stats/chances, but this is the advice I try to share, especially if you've already got the scheme. You can only focus on being your best self. If a firm thinks you're exceptional, they'll find room for you.- Jaysen

Weekly Commercial Awareness
Hey everyone, I think one of the best ways to develop commercial awareness is to actively engage with commercial topics and discuss them with other people.

LPC Grants - Taxable income?
There was some uncertainty over the accelerated one - I think this would make a difference as the stipulation of tax free sponsorship is that (a) the course is full time (tick), (b) you must be enrolled for at least one year (I assume one year is three terms?), and (c) you must attend for at...- Jaysen

LPC Grants - Taxable income?
Sure. He said: "I can confirm that the employer sponsored grant will be tax free up to an maximum of £15.480 per academic year. The student will have to pay Class 1 NIC on his employment earnings and obviously income tax once above the personal allowance (but only on the employment income)."...- Jaysen
