    About

    Changes to legal education and training

    Legal education and training have been subject to a detailed review by professional regulators in the legal sector. The review has examined the routes to qualification as a solicitor.

    In September 2021, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) introduced the Solicitors Qualifying Information (SQE) as the route to qualification as a solicitor in England and Wales.

    There is a period of transition during which the LPC route to qualification remains.

    An applicant’s eligibility to follow the LPC route is subject to the provisions of the SRA, and all applicants are responsible for ensuring they satisfy the SRA’s requirements for study and qualification via the LPC route.

    For full details of the transitional period and the new SQE, please see the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) published guidance. Further information can be found by visiting additional SRA web pages Solicitors Qualifying Examination and Common Protocol on the Academic Stage of training. You may also find some helpful information in the Law Society of England and Wales guide to the SQE.
