Apologies, I missed this.I know this might not be relevant to the forum sorry for this.
A lot of my friends are applying for Legal Tech and Legal Operations roles at law firms like Slaughter and May, NRF, A&O and etc. I am thinking of going down the legal tech route but wanted to ask if I qualify in the legal tech route can I still in the future convert back to a solicitor or will I have to do the whole TC process again. Also, I am not talking about CC Ignite TC but am talking about legal tech and legal operations programmes.
What are your thoughts on this @Jaysen @Jessica Booker @AvniD @James Carrabino @George Maxwell
If you accumulate qualifying work experience and pass the SQE, you wouldn't have to do a TC again. It is just whether the Tech roles you have mentioned would give you enough and the right exposure to work that could be signed off as qualifying work experience, and whether the firm would support you with the SQE.
