    Can you be a “Trainee Solicitor” if you have technically already qualified through the SQE?

    Hi! I am currently a trainee solicitor and I have completed the SQE exams. Because of my previous experiences, I have enough qualifying work experience to send everything off now and ‘qualify’. However, I still want to complete my training contract for the experience. I just would like to have...

    SQE prep: I’ve not been a student in years

    Hi guys, I’m fortunate enough to be starting my SQE in September sponsored by a firm. I’m pretty stressed in advance because I can see that a lot of the course is self study.

    Is it worth self-funding SQE1+2 after GDL? / please help me figure out a strategy

    Hi, if anyone can help me, I would be very grateful. I just finished my PGDL last month, which was entirely self-funded as I didn’t apply for VS/TC during undergrad. I also made a terrible mistake by not applying for VS during my GDL year because I didn’t feel “ready”. (I have a 1:1 Oxbridge...
