Hi all,

I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has experience (or knows someone) who qualified as a solicitor “early” by using existing Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) plus passing both SQE1 and SQE2, rather than completing a full two-year training contract/graduate scheme. (No one replied to this old thread)

Questions:
Has anyone here qualified early this way, or know someone who has?
How did your firm handle the transition? Did you move straight into an NQ (newly qualified) role, or did you face any challenges?
Did you encounter any pushback from HR or supervisors about “completing the programme” versus qualifying as soon as you met the SRA requirements?
If you had to leave your firm, how did you approach applying for NQ roles as an early qualifier?
Would really appreciate any insights, tips, or stories.
