UK firms remain wary despite elevated recruitment figures

To Magic Circle Partner 1. Auditing Requirements... If the law firms can't be trusted to disclose accurate statistics why shoudl Joe Public be expected to swallow the lies.... haven't we had enough of that already? Or maybe there is something to hide... which only strengthens the argument for auditing. 2. SRA regulating hiring and firing - I don't think that was mentioned explicitly. At present, like it or not, training contracts are already regulated. I dare say that may have had something to do with the fact that few if any trainees were fired (not to mention the bad publicity and the fact that they are cheap labour) 3. Legal Protection for prospective employees As law firms don't register the contracts for trainees until they start this has meant that law firms have been able to defer but given law firm's treatment of its employees it might be no harm to have some kind of regulation in place to preclude another bloodbath. Maybe magic circle partner, it might be worth having a look in the mirror and sparing a taught for the ones you so hastily got rid of.
