DLA Piper puts 251 in consultation across UK as firm mulls Glasgow closure

Comment

@Anonymous 1:06pm My understanding is that you cannot be made to defer (hence the reason why firms usually offer cash sweeteners when they ask prospective trainees to defer) but if you elect to not train with the firm then they will be entitled to claw back fees and maintenance grants. If you choose to start when you are due to start, despite being asked to defer, then you may find that there isn't a lot of work for you to do and/or less chance of securing an NQ role at the end due to there being too many trainees in relation to number of qualified staff required. If you elect for the latter (not train at DLA) then you will probably want to have something else to go into so you can afford to pay back any grants and fees paid by them.
