[QUOTE="TCinpipeline, post: 89793, member: 17355"] Hi everyone - I attended a webinar yesterday by Reed Smith and they were discussing if to apply for the SQE or the LPC? They mentioned those applying to Reed Smith for a TC who have completed and/or undergoing the LPC would have to complete SQE 2 to be on the same par as their other trainees applying. Does anyone know if other law firms are following suite or do you foresee them asking for the same in the near future? This is slightly worrying to candidates as I am sure like myself they did not self-fund and/or undertake the LPC if they were aware they would have to undertake more exams to get a TC? There are a lot of webinars and information on doing the SQE over the LPC but I do not see a lot about those who have already done the LPC looking for a TC. What will it mean for us in the future e.g. can we no longer apply for a TC by 2031 when the LPC is no longer valid? If so, it seems a bit harsh that we are cancelled out of a qualifying into the profession to follow due to a change in legal training and most will not like myself want to pay out for more exams/courses if we self-funded the LPC. Any help on this will be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
