🚨URGENT: Calling any and all potential employers of current and future trainee solicitors. PLEASE HELP. 🚨 Please see attached the attached letter City of London Law Society (CLLS) Chair, Colin Passmore sent out yesterday to member law firms asking whether any of them can help to place *ten* current and future trainee solicitors of a US-HQ’d law firm which is shutting its London office imminently, leaving them without roles. The firm originally contacted Patrick McCann, CLLS Training Committee Chair. There are four trainees about to qualify, two in train and four to join (two next week). This situation has come to light only very recently and is now urgent. If anyone might have any roles that could suit these ten early lawyers, please get in touch with liz.thomas@clls.org or patrick.mccann@linklaters.com and they will put you in touch with the right representatives at the firm. We anticipate employers other than law firms would be of interest. Last summer, CLLS and others stepped up to help out Ince & Co trainees as that firm imploded. We hope for a similar outcome this time. Thank you for reading. CLLS Training Committee
