    Are there any trainees currently studying an LLM/PGDip alongside their TC, or any qualified solicitor who did so? If anyone has done so could you please share which course you took, your experiences including the challenges you faced, and your reasoning for doing it?

    Highly unlikely during a TC. Most firms wouldn’t allow it.

    Any LLMs are typically done once lawyers are qualified.
