Hi guys, I was unsure what firms are generally thought to be part of the silver circle as there doesn’t appear to be a certain list as is the case for the MC.
Given your interest in corporate law, would definitely consider adding some other well regarded corporate firms to your list such as Macfarlanes and Travers Smith.
Yes really struggling to find any paralegal opportunities in the current market. Recruiters also not responding.
I was wondering what other graduates in a similar position were doing to boost their chances?
I’d thought that there would be a higher number qualifying because the aim of the SQE is to make the profession more accessible right, and if it is successful in doing so, numbers of NQs should increase.
This would then result in the so called ‘bottleneck’ problem currently affecting TC...
Thank you for replying. Can you please clarify what you mean by “4x6 months of an unconnected training contract vs 2 years of developing skills with lawyers who have trained people before.”
Is the “unconnected TC” going to be offered under the SQE?
Hi Jessica,
Do you think it will become more difficult/competitive to obtain NQ positions as there will be more people qualifying through the SQE route, through various forms of qualifying work experience?
Thanks Jessica, extremely useful!
Would you not say for SQE that there would be a bottleneck on qualification since qualifying is effectively easier than the current route, so we’d expect more to qualify under SQE route?
