Unregistered Why hasn’t Clarence Lun rejoined Fervent Chambers after his suspension ended? Is it because of the 2 lawsuits he is currently personally embroiled in?

Believe the industry has some conventional understanding of the term:

NQ = called this calender year, regardless which month, i.e.2024
1 PQE = called last year, i.e. 2023
2 PQE = called in 2022.

This may "shortchange" those called in March and Apr, but honestly the industry doesnt care andand what is more important usually is still the quality of the lawyer you have before you.

Wah this kind of question… Young lawyers are getting misled by the stupid PQE counting system adopted by the big 4.

Honestly, just count from call date to call date. Actual time spent in practice is what law firms / recruiters care about. PQE is just a way to approximate that. Imagine getting called in March and telling people that you’ve magically turned into 1PQE in August, it would be embarrassing to have to backpedal and qualify that statement if people poke further.

What do you mean by 2PQE (because some have different definitions)? What is your year of call?
