The legal training contract is the final stage in the process of qualifying as a solicitor.
It is a period of recognised training, usually involving two years spent working for a law firm (or other organisation that employs solicitors) under the supervision of a qualified solicitor.
It follows the Legal Practice Course (LPC) and includes the Professional Skills Course (PSC), all of which must be passed to qualify as a solicitor.
From 2021, a new qualifying exam is being introduced: the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE), which all trainees will have to pass to be admitted onto the roll of solicitors.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) used to stipulate the terms of training contracts but now, as long as the trainee meets the SRA's competence statement, there is no set format.
