From discussions I've had with various lawyers at various firms in the city, a lot of firms are not particularly confident with the new SQE model which is why, as Jess said, they are pushing back their SQE intakes.Personally, I wouldn't fancy being a guinea pig in the SQE and would do the established GDL if you can afford it as that will allow you to start your TC on time as it were. Or, if finances may be an issue then I'd do the funded MA because I think based on what you have said that you could do the accelerate LPC if required and still start on time?
