    LLM (SQE1+SQE2) at ULaw or BPP

    Hi Jess, thanks so much for the response! I do have a TC offer and we do have a clawback clause in the event of first-time failure of the GDL or SQE, so this is something that worries me specifically especially if I fail the SQE on the first attempt. Do you know how likely it is that firms will...

    LLM (SQE1+SQE2) at ULaw or BPP

I've been reading a lot recently about grant and fee clawback clauses and I am getting so stressed about the possibility of having to pay back all that money. @Ram Sabaratnam @Jessica Booker how common is it that firms...

    Hi, I have an AC coming up and am starting to prepare my commercial question response. Would it be okay to talk about Trump's tariffs and his re-election in general, even though the firm I have an AC it as a UK firm with no offices in the US? I was thinking of linking this back to the countries...

    Hi, I'm working on the Osborne Clarke applcation form and it says we can reply to an answer with bullet points if we think it will make it clearer.

    Hi, I've submitted an application recently and have realised I've made a typo in a law firm's name by putting a comma in the wrong place.
