Squire Sanders Hammonds has become the first law firm to sign up to BPP Law School’s fast-track Legal Practice Course (LPC) outside the five-firm City LPC Consortium comprising Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Herbert Smith, Hogan Lovells, Norton Rose and Slaughter and May.
The decision means future trainees at the transatlantic firm’s UK arm will start the seven-month course from this September. During the time between the course finishing and joining Squire Sanders Hammonds, trainees will take a three-month client secondment from May to July.
