[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 142724, member: 2672"] You should also check your VS offer letter as this can also state you can’t have accepted a TC elsewhere. But assuming your VS hasn’t got a term and given there is nothing in your TC offer, you can do your VS and if you get a TC from them too, you can renege your offer for the original TC. The only time this becomes an issue is when you have received any form of financial or training support from the firm, and that can include starting the onboarding processes for the GDL/LPC/SQE. If you reneged, technically a firm could pursue you for breach of contract but the reality is that they are not going to do this. The time/costs of this don’t make any sense when it is easy to replace you. It is different if you have sought money/training from the firm - they could look to recover those costs (even if you don’t start the course, if you have started onboarding to law school/prep courses, the firm may be liable for those costs). You can ask them whether they can extend the offer until after you vacation scheme though. Many people request this each year. The firm may say no though - although many will allow this at the same time. [/QUOTE]
