The team from Yorkshire attended the BPP Paralegal and
Alternative Careers Fair in Leeds yesterday afternoon.
We thoroughly enjoyed meeting the soon to be BPTC and LPC
graduates.
With exams coming up, we were able to give them some pointers,
careers advice and hopefully we will place some of them in their
first legal appointment after graduation!
It was a great turn out as always at the BPP School and everyone
at Douglas Scott wishes all the graduates the very best of luck in
their legal career.

midnight on the 16th March.
Incredibly this is the 6th baby boy in a row for the team here
at Douglas Scott. Could be the water, may be the gallons of
tea and tonnes of chocolate we are obliged to consume.
