APPLY TO JOIN OUR Practical Legal Training & QWE Pathway
WHAT YOU’LL GAIN
Most aspiring solicitors leave university with legal theory, some work experience, and the pressure of preparing for the SQE, but very little structured support transitioning into real legal practice. Freedom Law Clinic was built to bridge that gap.
• Supervised practical legal training
• Practical drafting and legal workflow training
• Structured professional development
• Up to 2 years of Qualifying Work Experience
• Integrated SQE support
This is not a traditional SQE course, and it is not simply an internship. It is a selective practical legal training pathway designed to help aspiring solicitors build the confidence, capability, and professional skills firms actually look for.
HOW TO APPLY
To apply, simply complete the form below and upload an up-to-date CV.
Our admissions team will review your application. If we believe you have the potential to thrive on our programme and contribute meaningfully to our clinic, we’ll invite you to an interview via Zoom. Interviews are typically scheduled within two weeks of submission and are an opportunity for us to assess your commitment and capacity to meet the demands of the programme.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for passion and commitment. You’ll be working with real clients and real cases, and that means showing up — consistently and professionally. You’ll need to commit a minimum of 5 hours per week to the programme.
COMMITMENT
We don’t require any minimum academic qualifications. Our school is built on principles of accessibility and inclusion. What matters most to us is who you are and what you’re capable of bringing to our team. Specifically, we’re looking for:
FEES
While our Practical Leagal Training & QWE Pathway is open to all there are costs involved due to the cost we incure for materials and teaching. To join there is a one off fee of £695. Then there is a monthly fee of between £80 and £295 (depending on your progress).
PRACTICAL ABILITY
You must have an excellent standard of written and spoken English. While we don’t require formal qualifications, you need to be able to absorb complex legal information and explain it with clarity and precision.
PROFESSIONALISM
From day one, we treat you like a lawyer — and we expect you to behave like one. This means turning up on time, meeting deadlines, and communicating clearly and promptly about client work.
NOT SURE IF IT’S RIGHT FOR YOU?
If you’re unsure whether the programme is a good fit, we encourage you to book a discovery call with our admissions team. We’re happy to talk through your questions and offer honest advice about whether you should apply.
