Which law firms recruit on a rolling basis? 2019-20
Strange! I contacted them about a month ago and received a response that "an early application is strongly encouraged" which I took as a confirmation that they recruit on a rolling basis (albeit not explicitly worded). I do not want to undermine what OBenson said in any way, but can anybody...- D95

Burges Salmon question
One of the questions that Burges Salmon is asking this year is: "As an independent UK firm what do you think are the main challenges and opportunities that Burges Salmon could face over the next five years?" To be honest, I am somewhat struggling with this question - there are some "obvious"...- D95

Happy World Mental Health Day!
Alice, I absolutely second everything you've just said here :) I have been struggling with massive self-confidence problems for the past few years too. Last year I gave up with some applications half-way through because I could not see a point - in my mind, if I was going to get rejected, why...- D95

Third time lucky
I am based in London and went to uni (non-RG, if that matters) here as well. I work in the City right now :) The upside of living in London is that there is plenty of roles available at all times - of course, the competition is fierce, but it is still possible to find something rather quickly...- D95

Aspiring Solicitors - Commercial Awareness Competition 2019/2020.
Hi guys! I am participating this year, too :) As a graduate I do not have that much contact with other peers currently, so would anybody be interested in setting up a separate forum/group/Skype for those of us who would like to chat over commercial issues together? If so, let me know!- D95

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi Jessica As a non-RG graduate, I was advised to not waste my time on applications to certain law firms. From your experience, does my university put me in such a disadvantage that I should really not bother? For the record, I had an equivalent of straight As on my A-levels and ended up at my...- D95

Third time lucky
For my first paralegal role, I started the search just after I finished my exams, which I think gave me a slight advantage. Admittedly, I did not make any TC applications that early summer, because it was essential for me to find a job. I was looking for a job by myself, mostly by setting up...- D95

Hi Sharaf! Thanks for sharing. You have plenty of valuable legal experience already, I am sure we will soon hear from you with good news re TC applications! :) Just one more thing I'd want to address: you mentioned that you are looking for paralegal job, but "realistically" more for legal...- D95
