Liverpool Law Society offers the Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) Exchange free to members. For those who are looking to qualify under the SQE route and who need to undertake a period of recognised training (often known as the Training contract), the QWE Exchange is a way of assisting member Practices to offer those looking to qualify a broader experience of different areas of work.
All candidates looking to qualify through the SQE route need to complete two years’ full-time (or equivalent) qualifying work experience. QWE helps aspiring solicitors by giving them experience of real-life legal work and the opportunity to develop some or all of the competences needed to be a solicitor. The QWE Exchange gives candidates the opportunity to develop a wider range of competencies.
The Exchange, which is only open to member Practices of Liverpool Law Society, is essentially a noticeboard whereby the member Practice details what seat or area of practice they can offer and also what seat/area of practice they are seeking. All those listed below are interested in seeking and/or offering a seat or area of practice.
It is up to each Practice to ensure that the work experience complies with the requirements laid down by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Liverpool Law Society does not take responsibility for any part of the exchange or that it meets the requirement set down by the SRA. The exchange must be discussed and agreed between each member Practice on an individual basis.
The Exchange is open only to Liverpool Law Society member Practices and will be time-limited to 12 months at which point you will be able to renew for the following 12 months at no cost. If you would like to appear on the list, please complete our form here.
