We have an arrangement with UWE and the College of Law to teach both the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) and the Legal Practice Course (LPC) to our future trainees. We will pay your tuition fees if you are due to start either the GDL or LPC once you have been offered a Training Contract. In addition a maintenance grant of £7,000 is paid to LPC students and £14,000 (£7,000 per annum) is paid to those students studying for both the GDL and LPC. If you have any queries about our arrangement with UWE and the College of Law please contact the Recruitment Team.
