[QUOTE="yellowponytwin, post: 197367, member: 36232"] Keeping this as a sort of diary! I just graduated from a top 10 British uni with a non-law 2:1 this year. No GDL (hoping to find a firm to sponsor me!). This is my first ever attempt at securing a TC. [I]NB any incorrect punctuation in firm names is deliberate so it is harder to track my postings - an attempt to stay anonymous here so any GR remain unbiased [/I] Interested in SouthWest firms, and a couple in Cambridge. Definitely not London. Hoping for more of a PrivateClient base, and particularly hoping to qualify into Family.
