Unlucky seven trainees scramble for jobs after RBG failure

The Law Society Gazette reports on the CLLS's ongoing efforts to supported trainees affected by the collapse of RBG Holdings.

Notes that CLLS Chair Colin Passmore confirmed he had been contacted by a trainee solicitor representing six trainees who are still to find a training contract elsewhere. Passmore said the CLLS, which coordinated similar efforts following the collapses of Axiom Ince and Armstrong Teasdale in the last two years, had managed to find member firms to help most of those affected by the RBG insolvency. This had reflected the strength and generosity of the legal sector to step up when needed, he said.
