[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 211821, member: 2672"] I would recommend calling the firm rather than emailing for a matter like this. You'll be able to discuss the issue with them, emphasise your motivations for the firm much more clearly, and get a quicker answer than relying on email. If you cannot get hold of the firm, then email and cover: - Why you need the extension - be clear as to why, there is no point in trying to hide the other VS - Ideally what date you would like the offer to be extended to - Reiterate your motivations for the firm but explain why you are keen to explore your vacation scheme with the other firm. They will not revoke the offer if you ask for an extension. The worst that will happen is they say no to the extension of the offer and only give you until next week to decide. Unless there are any terms in your VS or TC offers that state otherwise, you could accept the TC offer anyway and continue with the VS offer. You also could always renege on the TC firm if you then secured a TC with the VS firm that you would prefer over the existing TC offer (assuming you haven't started any onboarding processes for the GDL/LPC/SQE or received any financial support (e.g. a maintenance grant payment) from the TC firm.
