Under the new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) we require law graduates to undertake SQE a year before commencing a training contract with us. The answer to the first question is yes, firms require you to have passed the SQE before starting.In a training contract, trainees must work for the same organisation throughout the twoyear period. Our training contracts are designed to help you reach your potential. So you can expect top quality training and support every step of the way. Our 2026 SQE Training Contract is open for applications! Do you know someone looking for a Training Contract with a genuine difference? It provides a comprehensive and rigorous introduction to law and practice in preparation for the SQE and a legal career as a solicitor or barrister. All candidates seeking to qualify via the SQE route will need to complete two years' full-time (or equivalent) qualifying work experience. I'm thinking of applying for the MA Law and SQE courses at BPP and Uni of Law and finding a contract from then on.
