City solicitors have launched the SQE Toolkit, a practical guide to navigating the upcoming changes to legal training and qualification. The City of London Law Society’s (CLLS) initiative is designed to help City law firms prepare for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), which could be introduce as early as September 2020. It outlines key questions, includes insights from training providers and offers advice. Hannah Kozlova Lindsay, of the CLLS, said: ‘The proposed changes to how we train and develop our lawyers have a broader strategic significance and managing them will be vital to ensuring City law firms are genuinely future-proof.’
