Solicitor Qualification Examination (SQE 1)

Schools School of Law Solicitor Qualification Examination (SQE 1)

Programme Overview

A new fast-track path to qualification.  

The Solicitors Qualification Examination (SQE) has become the principal route to qualification as a Solicitor in England & Wales, opening access to one of the world’s most respected legal credentials. This new regime presents a substantial opportunity for aspiring and practicing lawyers across the Middle East. 

Through the ADGM School of Law, we have launched preparatory courses for both stages of the SQE, designed to equip candidates with the skills and confidence to succeed. 

Why qualify as a Solicitor (England & Wales)? 

English law increasingly governs complex commercial transactions in the region, from banking and project finance to construction. Financial districts, including ADGM, have adopted full English legal systems and courts, making this qualification more relevant than ever. Earning the Solicitor (England & Wales) credential can significantly enhance career prospects, positioning professionals at the forefront of legal practice in the region.
