The SQE Route

The SQuarE Route supports aspiring solicitors on their path to qualification through the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) route. Its offer includes a mentor, work experience weeks with partner firms, a mini pupillage, CV and application masterclasses, commercial awareness training, and mock HR interviews and assessment centres.

The website says the service is provided at no cost to students who join. Students may attend a formal assessment centre, and a set number of them are offered training contracts guaranteeing 24 months of Qualifying Work Experience. The privacy policy describes recruitment and placement services and mentions sharing data with clients and a payroll provider. The site states the company is owned and managed by qualified solicitors and barristers.

The website footer shows a 2022 copyright notice; no founding date, office locations, headcount or funding are stated. The job listings cover trainee solicitors, paralegals and solicitor roles, with listed locations in Manchester and Stockport.
