[QUOTE="laurabeaumont, post: 143951, member: 29428"] Agree with [USER=14860]@teddy_lawyer[/USER] and [USER=8215]@FM302989[/USER] to avoid the firms that directly stipulate A-level requirements. Whilst any qualification bears weight on an application if you have performed excellently in your undergraduate degree at RHUL and have a very good application (i.e. developed the necessary skills etc), then those more recent events will likely bear even more weight for those firms without A-level requirements. Alternatively, there is another way to qualify as a solicitor - via the solicitor apprenticeships route which takes 5-6 years and still involves taking the SQE. Here is a link to the SRA website which details the minutae of the route: [URL]https://www.sra.org.uk/become-solicitor/sqe/solicitor-apprenticeships/#:~:text=As%20an%20apprentice%20your%20training,to%206%20years%20to%20complete[/URL]. Hope this helps! Reply on this thread if you have any further questions :) [/QUOTE]
