[QUOTE="Aspiring.lawyer.to.be, post: 37438, member: 3931"] Thank you. I appreciate your response :) I am just worried about the fact some law firms will not be recruiting for training contracts after Sept 2021. For example: Baker McKenzie - [URL]https://uk-graduates.bakermckenzie.com/programme/training-contracts/#:~:text=We'll%20continue%20to%20offer,be%20affected%20by%20the%20changes[/URL]. [SIZE=3][B]''The Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE)[/B][/SIZE] The Solicitors Regulation Authority has announced that the SQE, a new route to qualification, will come into effect from 2021. We’ll continue to offer training contracts through the current route up to 2021. This means that, as things currently stand, anyone due to start a training contract with us before 2024 will not be affected by the changes.'' So if we've completed the LPC, we will be left with no choice but to sit the SQE2 + QWE - eventhough SRA says we can still qualify under the current route until 2032. [/QUOTE]
