Firms don’t have to give four weeks - it is just considered best practice if the TC or sponsored law school training is not starting fairly soon.The voluntary code is just that - voluntary. There are no regulatory issues with accepting a TC and continuing to apply elsewhere. However, I have heard people having their applications withdrawn when they have said they have an existing accepted offer. This is different to holding an offer (that they haven’t decided on).
