[QUOTE="LegallyBrown, post: 155747, member: 29628"] Hi Maya, Thanks for the response. Can I just confirm that Ropes & Gray do not sponsor candidates to study the SQE but rather prefer their candidates to have already completed the SQE. If that is the case, then the business decision makes complete sense - and I would expect that any LPC graduates who have then gone on to do the full SQE can still apply. However, if it were still a case of your firm sponsoring candidates to go on to study the SQE, I still don’t see the difference in sponsoring LPC graduates and regular graduates alike - because people with an LPC can still do the full SQE route if required. [B]To my knowledge, there is no hard rule that says LPC graduates have to be exempt from the SQE1[/B] (do let me know if I am mistaken - but I understood this to be a choice). If so, then this would not contribute to an issue for resourcing as there would be no need for two separate routes to qualification. All candidates would progress through the single SQE route. Please confirm and thank you once again for your response. [/QUOTE]
