Yesterday we brought you news of the updated LinkedIn profile of Shearman & Sterling 'spit roast email' trainee Daniel England. As you can see below, it suggested that England had been offered a job by the firm as a newly qualified (NQ) solicitor.
But yesterday evening Shearman & Sterling responded to our original pre-publication inquiry to deny ever offering England an NQ position.
A Shearman & Sterling spokesperson told Legal Cheek: "Daniel England resigned over the summer. He never went through the qualification job offer process and we never offered him a newly qualified solicitor job."
England has since removed the claim that he was 'offered a job' from his LinkedIn profile.
Further inquiries have indicated that England left Shearman & Sterling with the intention of working as a ski instructor, although this remains unconfirmed.
England didn't respond to Legal Cheek's request for comment.
COMMENT REMOVED
The Singapore office wanted Daniel to go there but he choose not to stay in law once he qualified, this is common knowledge, but also very old news.
