Still need to apply decals and terrain, but super excited with how this guy has turned out thus far!
Any advice on base terrain would be appreciated (currently torn between keeping it simple with something sandy/trying something more warp-y… any examples appreciated!)
Just looking for some advice re whether my employer has a legitimate reason to prevent me from applying to the roll.
By way of context, I work at a small firm as a paralegal and it has always been promised that, upon completion of my qualifying exams, I would transition into a solicitor role. I passed both my SQE1 and SQE2 exams in the first quintile and have completed and registered my 2 years’ qualifying work experience. I have no prior convictions or anything else (to my knowledge) that would suggest that I would be rejected by the SRA during screening.
So far as I am aware, there is nothing preventing me from applying for admission to the roll. Despite this, the Managing Partner of my firm has told me verbatim that when/whether I am allowed to apply to the roll is entirely their decision. When I explained that I would prefer to just apply myself, even if it meant assuming the costs personally, I was told that this was forbidden because it would ‘violate our indemnity policy’. The Managing Partner has refused to clarify why they believe this to be the case and will not allow me to see the policy documents.
I am concerned that they are purposefully preventing me from applying myself to drag out moving me to the higher paid solicitor role/prevent me from accruing PQE.
I am aware other paralegals who have passed the SQE have struggled with promises upwards mobility in general, but wasn’t sure about the admissions point specifically. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
