You just need to pass SQE1 and/or SQE2. Many foreign qualified lawyers also get an exemption from either SQE1 or SQE2 as well.- Some firms are allowing people who have qualified under the SQE to apply for vacation schemes and training contracts, especially if they are foreign qualified lawyers or if their experience is in a very different area of law.- Passing the SQE alone (even without an LLM) can be enough to secure an NQ role (or PQE role) if you have got comparable experience. You don’t need to have done a TC or have two years of work experience in the UK. You can have worked in any other country and have gained comparable experience in another jurisdiction. - The SRA does not really have any requirements any more beyond the SQE1 and SQE2 assessments. The issue for firms is that the SRA’s requirements are so basic now in relation to QWE that firms have to put their own standards in place. For the most elite firms that standard is very high, and very few organisations are going to be able to meet that standard.</blockquote>
