SQE with Taylor Wessing

Before you commence your training contract with the firm, you will undertake the SQE 1 and SQE 2 examination. We have partnered with University of Law for this course, which will enable you to gain a breadth of knowledge before commencing these examinations.

Additionally, you will also undertake an SQE Plus course to provide you with further legal knowledge ahead of joining the firm, which includes a master's.

In the SQE Plus course you will undertake courses in Business of Law, Mergers and Acquisition, Innovation, Technology and Legal Project Management. To enable you to tailor your learning to your own preferences, you will have the additional option of selecting two other practice areas you are interested in learning more about: Employment, Advanced Dispute Resolution, Advanced Real Estate, Intellectual Property, Commercial, and Private Wealth.

Ahead of commencing the course, you will meet with the Early Talent and Development team to learn more about the course and our expectations and be provided with support throughout the year-long course.

By completing the course and examinations ahead of your start date, you will be able to hit the ground running and gain your two years qualifying work experience through our training contract.

The firm will also provide a £17,000 maintenance grant to support you financially whilst you study.
