Sidley Austin has become the latest firm to hike Legal Practice Course (LPC) maintenance grants for its future trainees.
The US firm will now pay its soon-to-be trainee solicitors £11,000 to support them financially while they study for the final stage of their legal academic training. The latest uplift makes Sidley the highest payer in London in terms of maintenance grants.
Sidley joins a raft of London firms who have recently boosted the financial provision awarded to future trainees.
