Graduates will normally proceed to a training contract to complete their qualification as a solicitor.
The vast majority of LPC graduates go on to become qualified solicitors in a range of organisations across many specialist areas. Some overseas professional bodies accept the LPC as satisfying their admission requirements to practise as a lawyer. Solicitors provide clients with legal advice often during times of extreme stress such as arrest, divorce, moving house or bereavement. They also represent clients in corporate or commercial transactions.
Once you have completed the LPC, you must complete a two-year training contract with a firm of solicitors. You will be qualified as a Solicitor of the Senior Courts of England and Wales upon completion of the two-year training contract.
Many of our international students join the School of Law with the intention of practising law, normally in their home country. Our LPC is recognised by some overseas legal professional bodies, particularly in Commonwealth countries.
If you intend to practise in your home country, you should contact your local Law Society or Bar Council to ensure the LPC is recognised. You may be required to undertake additional training before being authorised to practise law. Some overseas Law Societies and Bar Councils will offer exemptions from all or part of their own training requirements if you qualify as a solicitor or barrister of England and Wales. For example, the Malaysian Bar recognises both solicitors and barristers of England and Wales — to be authorised as a solicitor and advocate of Malaysia you would have to complete a pupillage in Malaysia.
