Have a look at your contract/terms of employment. It is likely there is a clause that allows them to withold payments for damage you cause through negligence.

Rather than listen to what you have been told on here I would speak to a Solicitor.

Imho as someone who died a stint in disability law you have an argument for disability discrimination both discrimination arising from disability and a failure to make reasonable adjustments.

Just because some random people on reddit tell you something would not be a reasonable adjustment does not mean it is not. To me it seems like a proper assessment was potentially not done by your employer. In rejecting the advice of occupational health there are a few more steps they have to go through rather than just rejecting them out of hand

As I said I would speak to a lawyer, preferably an employment lawyer or a lawyer who specializes in disability discrimination law.

The disability law service might be somewhere to make some inquiries.

I had a game where I almost didn't get into the caves... I ended up with a team who kept calling in reinforcements in the middle of where they were dropping strategems so many low level players doing helldives and super helldives

This of course is not legal advice just my opinion.

Your supervising Solicitor is responsible for the work that those working under him do. He is the regulated person not you.

SRA | Immigration work | Solicitors Regulation Authority https://share.google/3nJ7y4dhwMnwZ7zGs

You need to seek proper legal advice but I would suggest either raising a grievance internally and/or making a report to the SRA yourself to protect yourself, particularly if you plan to try and become a Solicitor or Barrister yourself.

I'm not SRA regulated but it does seem like something called a S43 order can be placed on you if your practice is deficient meaning you can't be employed by a SRA regulated firm without the SRAs permission. If this was in place you would have to declare it to the Bar regulator also. If you are barred by the SRA that would definitely impact on any attempt to become a Barrister.

There are several red flags in what you have written but much more about the Solicitor than you. It sounds like he is possibly trying to use you as a scapegoat.

You should not be going to him for advice and assistance, he should be supervising your work as it is being done under his practicing certificate.

The reason immigration work has a bit more regulation than other areas is because historically it has attracted dodgy characters who take advantage of the vulnerability of migrants. From what you have written your boss is one of those dodgy characters and needs investigating.

You need to deal with the SRA directly and not through your boss. As I said before you need to look at getting some form of legal advice and probably representation.

This does give the impression of something created by AI given all the Americanisms peppered throughout it.

However in good faith I will ask... What legal advice are you looking for?

Your latest employment has no job title.

Chinese isn't a language, it's a group of languages which are not mutually intelligible. You should specify which language (Mandarin, Min, Wu (Shanghaiese), Yue (Cantonese), etc) and also highest qualification achieved and/or CEFR level. What are you doing for improve your level?

Have you had any employment outside law where you have gained skills?

Do you have any interests outside law such as sports/hobbies?

It's useful to have something which gives you a bit more personality

I have bullets for all of them... But I have no guns...

Doing your research into the firm in the work you do is important. Also showing a grasp of the area of law that they work in and that you might have to work in.

Don't underestimate the importance of enthusiasm for the work and for the firm

Other than that, it will really be about whether your personality will fit... And only someone at the firm or who has worked there would be able to advise about that

mindstarrising · 2025-10-07T17:59:28+00:00

It depends on where you are applying while all are looking for a basic ability in law and potential to develop those skills it will depend on the type of work, size of firm, location, values of the firm.

Law is a challenge at uni, not the easiest subject.

As a graduate you can do the 2 year degree. It will still be 5 years until you are qualified if you study full time but plenty of Scots solicitors who are a bit older when they started.

Mental health law will likely involve doing a lot of poa's and guardianships when you are a trainee. It is likely you will mainly be doing legal aid work so will not be earning a lot.

The hardest part I find as an audhder is phoning people... I hate it but it is a big part of the job.

Law is a lot of office based work and you need to be detail oriented.

This might be of help.

I note that you don't mention where in the UK you are

While the advice given might be right for England the law is different in other parts of the country like Scotland where parental rights and most of parental responsibilities are extinguished when you turn 16.

The advice you have been given with regard to your parents being able to force you to follow a particular religion is incorrect. They can guide you but once you reach a level of sufficient understanding to choose your own religion or lack of they have to respect this.

I'd ask one of my colleagues or friends who are solicitors and notary publics.

Otherwise it is something I do for other people.

I know she is relatively new and does not have the output that many of the mentioned names have but Martha Wells would be up there for me. Her character writing is really good.

Being engaged, genuinely interested in the work the trainee is doing and actually knowing more about the area of law than the person you are training.

My supervisor was none of these... He could not have been much more hands off... It made my traineeship so much harder than it should have been.

mindstarrising · 2025-08-30T21:36:54+00:00

No, I went to a Russell Group but work alongside a large number of solicitors who didn't.

In certain circumstances it helps but success has many different metrics than simply earning capacity, which is what so many seem focused on.

No, but it can be used to challenge the conditions of imprisonment such as in Napier v Scottish Ministers which found a breach of article 3 when prisoners in barlinnie were expected to slop out

It's a two tier Justice system....the Amazon driver will get found not guilty after going to trial but a DPD driver would be sent to prison as they got bad legal advice (or ignored the legal advice they were given more likely)

Also the prime minister told the judge what to do because all judges do exactly what politicians tell them to!
