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 it all signed-off so that my “qualification year” on the SRA roll is a bit earlier in case that is helpful to me further down the line.
Does anyone know if it is ok to technically be a “qualified solicitor” on the SRA roll, whilst holding a “trainee solicitor” position? My firm has not seen this situation before.
Thank you in advance!!
