Full job description
Weightmans' SQE pathway trainee solicitor role is for law graduates, or non-law graduates who have done the PGDL or equivalent, who complete SQE1 before joining and gain their qualifying work experience across up to four seats. The firm recruits two years ahead, funds SQE1 and SQE2 preparation and exams with BPP, and lists first-year pay at 29,000 pounds (36,000 in London) rising to 31,000 (38,000) after a year. You can apply from the second year of a three-year law degree or the final year of a non-law degree. Applications for the September 2029 intake reopen in autumn 2026 with no dates published, and the process starts with a written application plus an open question.
