Join us for a timely webinar exploring the route to qualification as a solicitor in England and Wales, with a special focus on the growing interest around exemptions for Dubai Advocates and other qualified legal professionals in the region. As international qualification pathways continue to attract attention, this session will provide practical guidance for those looking to better understand the process, requirements, and considerations involved.
This special edition webinar is designed to help legal professionals understand what an exemption means in the context of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), who may be eligible to apply, and how to begin navigating the process.
What we will cover:
· What is an exemption, and how does it relate to the SQE pathway?
· Who may be eligible to apply for an exemption?
· How do you go about the process, and what should you prepare?
The session will be particularly valuable for Dubai Advocates, UAE-based legal practitioners, in-house counsel, law graduates, and internationally minded professionals who are considering qualification in England and Wales. The webinar is intended to inform and guide attendees, not to guarantee eligibility or outcome.
With heightened interest in cross-qualification pathways and the practical implications of exemptions, this webinar offers a valuable opportunity to hear a structured overview of the process and key considerations. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the regulatory framework, the role of qualifications and legal work experience, and the steps needed to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
We will have Mayumi Brown, Senior Business Development Manager Global-East to present from BARBRI.
