Poor contract module grade, but 2:1 average.
The short answer is no, not at all since you got a 2.1 overall and normally first year results don't count towards your final degree anyway :)- Daniel Boden

Yes a lot of firms have said that and I imagine one reason is that a fair few people were made redundant due to covid and so were looking at pursuing other career options- Daniel Boden

BPP or ULaw for GDL/Masters funding/remote study
The MA Law is effectively the masters option of the GDL at ULaw yeah so I'd definitely do that over the LLM at BPP which as you say has had an awful lot of negative press this year. A friend of mine did it this year and found it pretty intense as you have to do a full 10,000-word dissertation...- Daniel Boden

Vacation Scheme Preparation
Yeah just to add to @Dheepa's excellent points above, I'd recommend Dechert's private equity webinars on youtube - there's some really interesting and useful stuff in there that will definitely help you stand out!- Daniel Boden

PGDL or LLM Law and Legal Practice at BPP
No it will not be a lazy decision! The GDL/PGDL is an intense course as it is and everyone (employers included) are aware of that so I would just do that instead of the LLM tbh especially since you don't need to do it to get a loan as your firm will be funding you (I assume anyway)- Daniel Boden

Dress to impress: men's clothing for vacation schemes and law firm events
Great idea mate! How many suits would you recommend for someone starting their first proper 'city' or corporate job? I can imagine that for a lot of people this can be something to think about as they make the move to London. Personally, I would say 2/3 that you can rotate being a navy, charcoal...- Daniel Boden
