Can you apply for Greenberg Traurig if you haven't done your LPC? I noticed that their intake is September 2022 which is cutting it very close for non-LPC students.
Nope. You need to have done the LPC before you can start at TC with them. I spoke to someone at the firm and they said as long as you have finished your exams before the TC start date you should be eligible. Going to follow up regarding whether you need results before the start date or not and will let you know what they say

Hi everyone

I'm a career changer currently doing the LPC and VS applications, but of course have my moments of doubt where I don't feel too hopeful about landing a training contract this cycle. Does anyone know of any smaller firms who recruit less than two years in advance but still offer commercial work?

The thought of starting a TC in 2025 if I'm not successful this year seems so far away (2024 already seems silly 🤣), so want to start thinking about some other options.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

    Have you considered the SQE route aswell? So after LPC sit SQE2 and you will need two years QWE ie paralegal work? So could technically be qualified in 2 years? (If you already have some QWE it could be faster obviously) it all depends on how fast you want to get qualified really! The SQE definitely helps with speed

    Greenberg Traurig and EY are both hiring for September 2022 provided you’ll have completed the LPC by September
