Support for SQE at LexisNexis

LexisNexis is to be the first information services business to support aspiring lawyers working at the organisation through the SQE (the Solicitors Qualifying Exam).

It is partnering with legal education provider BARBRI Global to support candidates studying part-time for SQE1 and SQE2. Candidates will gain qualifying work experience within LexisNexis’ in-house legal team and through secondment opportunities with law firm Pinsent Masons. 

Josh Giddens, head of LexisPSL Hub, said: ‘We employ hundreds of legal experts to create our content and now are able to offer aspiring solicitors the opportunity to really understand the black letter of the law and how to put it into practice via the SQE route and our unique qualification process. It is really exciting for LexisNexis to work with BARBRI in offering new, innovative routes to qualification.’
