[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 33338, member: 2672"] Any clause saying the offer would be voided if you had already accepted an offer is likely to be unenforceable (data protection makes it practically impossible to find out unless you tell them). I’d be surprised if any firm has it these days because it’s not in the interests of the firm you get a subsequent offer from. Unfortunately for recruiters there is absolutely no consequences on reneging an offer. The exception will be if you have received any financial support from the firm (this could include paying for your LPC before you start the course). The worst thing that can happen is the firm remembers you and when you try to get a NQ role there, they remember you as the person who reneged. But given the time lapse and how people change roles in firms, I think even that is fairly unlikely and even if they did remember you, they wouldn’t pass you up if you were a good enough candidate.
