[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 212846, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=30006]@LawyerInMaking[/USER] Great question! At my firm, there were no formal restrictions imposed on part-time work during the LLM SQE. However, some firms [I]do[/I] have restrictions or will want you to consult them first. I’d definitely recommend checking your offer or training contract carefully, and having a quick word with grad rec just to be sure. That said, while it’s absolutely possible to combine SQE study with part-time work (I’ve been doing this myself), I’d encourage you to think it through carefully. The SQE is a significant workload and it’s worth being realistic about how much time and energy you’ll have. Of course, fully appreciate that for some people it’s not a choice, and working alongside study may be necessary for financial reasons. Just go in with your eyes open and make sure you have enough bandwidth to look after yourself too. Happy to answer any other questions :) [/QUOTE]
