[QUOTE="MP, post: 178483, member: 4124"] Hi everyone! (Apologies if this is not the right thread where to post this) By way of introduction my name is Marek and I am currently completing the LPC on a part-time basis. I have also been working as a corporate/commercial paralegal for a private aviation company for the past 5 years and my experience ranges from PE acquisitions, corporate restructuring, negotiating airport licences/leases, intragroup loan agreements to drafting general aviation commerce contracts. I currently find myself in a bit of a precarious situation at my company as we no longer have an in-house solicitor who is registered with the SRA, and I am therefore unable to commence my training contract at the said company. Frankly speaking, panic has been setting in ever since this was communicated to me considering that law firms are gradually phasing out the LPC route to qualifying. In the past few days, I got organised and created a spreadsheet with all the current TC application deadlines/events etc. However, the issue is that I do not really have any experience in drafting answers to application form questions and have not networked with any law firms – which I think is really important especially in my case. Unfortunately, I have obtained a 2:2 in my undergraduate degree due to an illness and the fact that I have been working full time since the first year of my undergraduate studies. I have been following the TCLA almost since its inception (but never really got involved apart from a couple of instances) and find it to be an invaluable source of information and guidance. I do plan on going full steam ahead and applying to law firms this autumn even those whose minimum requirements are a 2:1 – one needs to try anyway. Any tips and pointers in the right direction on which TCLA courses to take and/or other guidance especially in terms of networking/application help & how to stand out will be greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read my rant/cry for help. 😊 Regards, Marek [/QUOTE]
