Recruitment cycle dates
GN Law operates a rolling recruitment of paralegals into their mental health department and recruits at least twice a year for their Court of Protection department. Trainee solicitors, or SQE students, are asked to interview in September/October to start in March of the following year. The majority, if not all, of their trainees, are recruited from their ranks of paralegals.
GN Law’s current trainees have followed the LPC route, however, they have found an increasing number of their paralegals are taking the SQE. They are likely to start accepting both LPC and SQE students and graduates from March 2024. GN Law has designed a tailored, two year training contract to satisfy the requirements of both the LPC route and qualifying work experience for SQE.
