I suppose it really should be fine until 2024 and I'm unsure if your self-funded LPC is impacted by a firm's decision to choose the SQE route for their trainees- I think it would still count and your recruitment would not be negatively affected by it! Tagging @Jessica Booker for a second opinion!

Firms will recruit people with the LPC, but many will expect you to do the SQE (you will just get an exemption from SQE1 but have to sit SQE2).

If this is an absolute dealbreaker for you, then it will limit the number of firms you can apply to. Many firms are not willing to have two sets of trainees with some on the LPC route and others on the SQE route given how different their employment rights/training requirements/regulation etc are.
