[QUOTE="prospectiveswitcher, post: 176298, member: 24174"] Do you work in a regulated profession which is likely to have contact with the law firm and/or its clients? If so - consider asking permission, otherwise I would chance it tbh. Even if you are in a regulated profession - if you are working for say a high street accountants and doing a VS at a US firm, it's extremely unlikely there would be any crossover, so I would consider just keeping it to yourself. I know Jessica said about the VS firm potentially contacting your current firm but tbh I think this is unlikely - it never happened at any of the law firms I was at, and I even made it clear I was being a bit under-the-radar with the whole thing to the firms and they were more than happy to be discreet and oblige. I had no clause like that in my contract but obviously for regular reasons I didn't necessarily want it to be known I was trying out another job. I didn't work in a regulated industry (strategy consulting) but would have been in contact with clients who were of similar ilk on confidential / market sensitive matters and nothing was ever queried with me.
