The number of students enrolled on full-tine legal practice courses has dropped by over 8% this year, highlighting a significant drop in the number of training contracts on offer to students.

In a recent article published by The Law Society Gazette it was revealed that only 5,198 students enrolled with the 27 LPC providers for 2013 and 2014; seeing a decline of 475 from the previous year.

Furthermore, according to The Law Society Gazette courses are only 44% full on average, highlighting the 37.5% decline in LPC student applications since 2008 and 2009.

While fewer training contracts are being provided Aston Bond is proud to lead the way in introducing the next-generation to the legal sector and we are currently accepting applications for a trainee solicitor and conveyancing assistant.

Cardiac illnesses in the young is a growing concern among medical specialist around the world and here in the UK the Cardiac Risk in the Young charity are working day and night to prevent such tragic illnesses and also support individuals and their families after such a life changing tragedy takes place. CRY UK work to reduce the chances of a un-diagnosed heart condition in the young changing their lives forever. This past week the team of Aston Bond solicitors came together to raise money towards this great service CRY offer to thousands of children around the UK.

The Aston Bond team came together to raise money for CRY UK in Slough’s town centre in-which we raised over £1,300 through online and offline donations. 100% of our collected donations went directly to the CRY UK charity to support the charity throughout the next year to save and protect thousands of young lives.

Not only did we raise a great amount for a great charity but we also had a great day with the general public. Our home made cake selection were a success with the younger audience throughout the day and our very own Bondman attracted attention from the walkers by.

Our team of solicitors left their ties back at the office to hand out both balloons and cakes  to the local community of shoppers. Aston Bond partner Stephen Puri could be found alongside our cake stand all day  along with entire team from Aston Bond.

In all, the day was a huge success and we plan further events in the near and far future here at Aston Bond. With our total funding of over £1,300 the day was nothing but a success; and we would like to say thank you to all our supporters throughout the day.
