[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 115475, member: 2672"] The voluntary code of best recruitment practice for trainees suggests a minimum of four weeks to consider an offer unless the start date for legal education or training is fairly immediate. However, the code is completely voluntary. As the firm are not sticking to it, there is absolutely no reason for you to either. So you could accept, and then renege as others have mentioned. They are right that it gets tricky from the point you receive any funding, but that could start as soon as you start onboarding for either the GDL/LPC/SQE courses though (money does not have to exchange for that) and therefore if you find yourself having to complete onboarding forms for any of these course, be mindful you may be financially committed/liable for the costs of the course if you were to then renege on them. I wouldn’t advise getting one firm reimbursing the other though - it’s your responsibility to sort out, not theirs. [/QUOTE]
