[QUOTE="AlexJ, post: 145727, member: 24847"] The answer to the first question is yes, firms require you to have passed the SQE before starting. Must firms will pay SQE fees + prep course + maintenance grant, especially bigger city firms. Some smaller firms don’t so it’s always best to check if you aren’t sure. I think having the SQE will help you land a paralegal role, which could help your chances of a TC but won’t do much by itself. Similar to the situation under the LPC. [/QUOTE]
