Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) - Transitional Arrangements

Please note, the Legal Practice Course (LPC), once the established training route to becoming a solicitor, has now been replaced by the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). As such, the Legal Practice course is only available to students who are eligible to qualify as a Solicitor through the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) transitional arrangements, which cover candidates already on their way to becoming a solicitor before the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) was introduced in September 2021.

Find out more about your eligibility under the SRA transitional arrangements.
