Once all the relevant training is completed, you will need to apply to the SRA for admission to the roll. Once approved, you are now certified as a solicitor.

How many years does it take to become a solicitor?

It generally requires at least 6 years of qualification, from the start of a law degree until qualification. An apprenticeship will also take 5 or 6 years to complete.

What are the routes to qualifying as a solicitor?

The traditional route to qualifying is through a training contract. Most firms recruit trainees two years in advance, however thiis could vary. Some firms will fund the LPC for their trainees prior to the training contract commencing. A new route to qualification has recently been introduced, called the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). The SQE involves two assessments to test the individual's legal knowledgee and practical legal skills. Some firms have started offering the SQE as opposed to the LPC. Currently, candidates can opt for either, depending on the firm, but the LPC will only be available until 2032. You can take the SQE route after an apprenticeship as well.
