    in-house training contracts

    Yes you’re right. The programme is through the SQE route. They did label it as a “training contract” on their website some months back. Could you please explain the difference between a training contract and a programme providing legal services to their clients?

    in-house training contracts

    This is very true. As mentioned above, the SQE will change the landscape a bit for those of us interested in in-house. That said, Deloitte offers funding for the GDL I believe, if you haven’t started prior to obtaining their TC.

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
