[QUOTE="spiralling47, post: 148356, member: 30648"] Have training contracts from both - have just under two weeks to choose between. Am honestly not sure what to pick. I saw someone else post about CC only having the SQE with CC people whereas S&M mixes with other firms - is this a positive or a negative? I agree that it would be nice to know lawyers from other firms rather than studying and training with the same people - does anyone have any experience at either firm with this? Additionally, I know that S&M has no billable hours target whereas CC does. However, I'm interested in antitrust/litigation, two areas I know which tend to have pretty heavy hours regardless of the firm, so I'm not sure if CC's target will necessarily mean much more gruelling hours than the equivalent in the S&M department, but I'm not sure. Also, I've heard that S&M's work is more "academic" and varied with the multispecialism - but does this multispecialism mean much when you're actually fully qualified? And does going to CC necessarily mean you'll be stuck doing the same thing forever (as opposed to, I guess, multispecialism)? I would welcome any advice from anyone who has been at either firm/has chosen one over the other! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
