Our QWE confirming service

If you have previous or current QWE but for whatever reason are unable to get this confirmed by supervising solicitors, we are now launching our solicitor-led QWE confirmation service to help you secure your legal career.

The legal profession is changing

Employers tell us they want realistic, resilient candidates who know what they are getting into before they accept a role. Candidates want flexible roles, with a work-life balance in a variety of sectors like charities and niche areas of law as well as city firms, and more importantly, want to be given a chance.

The new entry points and pathways to qualification provide the legal sector with a unique opportunity to break entrenched unconsciously biased recruitment practices and evolve into a more meritocratic diverse profession.
