They're already aware of my financial situation, so it shouldn't be a bar...

Any advice as to the original question?

    Who is aware of your situation, the people providing the course or the solicitors offering the job? If the former, its meaningless. If the latter, then use it to your advantage. Ask the solicitors HR department to provide a letter of reference to their Bank asking the manager to extend current account facilities to you. Otherwise, it is hit and miss depending upon who you apply to.
