Does your company have a compliance officer? If so, they can also sign it off.Often lawyers will not sign it off because there is no evidence - if you have kept a log of what you have worked on and the competencies achieved, any qualified solicitor can sign it off if they are happy to do so, and many will if they can see the evidence of your work, and especially if it is backed up by your manager (ie they agree you have completed the work, they just need someone to sign it off where they are not qualified in E&W).
