Since September 2021, those wishing to qualify as a solicitor in England and Wales now need to pass the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) 1 and SQE 2 and gain the requisite (2 years) of qualifying work experience. There are some exemptions available for lawyers qualified in other jurisdictions. We will take you through the regulatory changes and explain how businesses in the Middle East might like to capitalise on them by sponsoring lawyers to become qualified/dual qualified.
