Qualifications & Requirements

Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE)

The SQE is the new centralised assessment for all aspiring solicitors in England and Wales, introduced in September 2021. At Irwin Mitchell, candidates who have already completed the Legal Practice Course (LPC) are not required to undertake the SQE. However, we no longer sponsor the LPC.

If you are offered a training contract to start in 2027 and have not yet completed the LPC, we will sponsor you to undertake the SQE. You must successfully complete both SQE1 and SQE2 before starting your training contract. Please note: we do not reimburse fees retrospectively.

Recruitment Process

• Online application form
• Online assessment, including video interview questions
• Assessment Centre
• Insight day and final stage assessment

Application will be considered for a training contract commencing in September 2027. We encourage you to submit your application as early as possible. For some office locations, we operate a rolling recruitment process and may close ahead of the advertised application deadline. To minimise the risk of unconscious bias, we use an anonymised screening process when reviewing applications. You may submit only one application per recruitment round for any of our training contract opportunities.
