[QUOTE="TCinpipeline, post: 92046, member: 17355"] Hi - following the post regarding “I got a training contract after ten years”, it got me thinking of reading online (I can’t recall where, so I do not know if it is a reliable source) that law firms tend to only accept candidates that have completed the LPC within the last 3/4 years. They like candidates to have completed it recently than a while ago. Does anyone know if this is correct? It is great to read that you can still hope to get a training contract after years of applying. The candidate clearly had a lot of determination and tenacity. Being a mature candidate myself, does anyone have knowledge of which law firms that take candidates for training contracts with life experience? It puts me off applying to firms that do not indicate or promote diversity on their careers pages of accepting candidates from a variety of backgrounds such as non-Russell group universities, age and career changers. Some only give the qualities/competencies they are looking for and no other information which leaves you thinking if it may not be the right kind of firm for me. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
