Burges Salmon sets up job site for Halliwells trainees

Bravo Mr McNulty, it's great to see someone in the profession doing something for the greater good. Even my cynicism (which after 15 years in the profession is quite advanced) has to acknowledge it. As for the Law Society's response, it's tragic that they don't understand how ineffective their actions to date have been (and will no doubt be hurt by the many criticisms on here). A low level coffee morning at a time when all the people concerned should already have started work? No doubt 15 committee meetings were required before they even got the go-ahead to arrange that. I really do struggle to think of any worthwhile function at all that the Law Society carries out in return from the payments it demands from its members - it's so wrapped up in bureaucracy it's lost sight of what it's there for. I hope Mr McNulty publishes details of the firms that do and don't sign up to his scheme.
