Ah strange, I've checked the portal and nothing on there either. Do you know what this might mean if I haven't had either? Do firms send out responses in batches or maybe at different times depending on the office? This is my first application cycle so I'm not sure!
Which office did you apply to? I applied to the London office. I completed the tests on the 11th of April and heard back on Tuesday just gone! Just over 6 weeks for a response. Hopefully it’s reassuring to hear that other haven’t heard back yet!

Hey guys just looking for some advice, so I recently accepted a paralegal position at (Law Firm A) and am currently in the process of being onboarded after signing the contract and producing all the necessary documents. However, I just received news that I have been offered a training contract with (Law Firm B). I was wondering if it was possible to reject the paralegal position even after signing the contract of employment and currently being onboarded and if so, how do go about this? @Jessica Booker

Yes, you can withdraw your acceptance. You should call your point of contact and explain why you are no longer continuing with the offer, and then follow up in writing to confirm that is the case.

I also applied to the London office. Maybe I'll hear something after the interviews have been held then. Hopefully anyway!
