MTSG & MYSG quiz at Ark

BCL Legal were very proud to sponsor the MTSG & MYSG quiz at Ark, on Deansgate Locks on Thursday 23 April.

Not only was the sun shining, everyone was definitely up for a competitive quiz night! Mark Christie and Liam Corrigan from DWF were excellent quiz masters and kept the quiz at a lively pace.

The winning team were from Slater & Gordon, and won £100 of Selfridges vouchers, whilst the runners up DWF went home with several bottles of Prosecco!

I have to say, although they were supposed to be ‘wooden spoon’ prizes, there were actually an excellent array of summer games for the team in last place including a rounders bat and ball, a Frisbee and water gun! A special mention goes to Kuits who won a prize for their brilliant team name “Flying Kuits”.

The food was excellent, as was the atmosphere and all in a good cause for MTSG’s charity “The Woodstreet Mission”.

As the newly qualified process has commenced, there will always be a high level of competition for the best roles. So far we have already been instructed on NQ roles in the following disciplines: Corporate, Banking, Commercial, Real Estate, Commercial Litigation, Employment, Commercial Insurance, Construction, Restructuring. If you have not done your CV as yet, you need to get a move on! Offers are being made for September already.

It is always better to be in a position to have a choice of offers and be in the driving seat, so unless you are 100% confident you are being retained in the team of your choice, my advice is to explore the market and see what is out there. It is a great exercise to meet other firms, take stock of options, and make connections for the future.

If you would like any advice on CV writing, interview tips or to meet to discuss NQ options do not hesitate to get in touch. Whether your search is focused on Manchester and the North West or further afield, we can cover you for options nationwide.
