Lester Aldridge is delighted to announce that Lucy Taylor, Ben Hyndman and Kerry Bosher have successfully passed their SQE2 examinations.
Lucy and Ben are currently employed as paralegals at the firm and will begin their training contracts in September.
Kerry has been studying via the Graduate Solicitor Apprenticeship, which she has now successfully completed. She will now undertake the final formalities required to qualify as a solicitor.
The Solicitors Qualifying Examination 2 (SQE2) is the second stage of assessment for aspiring solicitors in England and Wales. It tests practical legal skills through a series of oral and written assessments. The exam evaluates a candidate’s ability to apply legal knowledge in realistic scenarios, covering key areas such as client interviewing, advocacy, case and matter analysis, legal research, legal writing, and legal drafting. These skills are assessed across core practice areas, including dispute resolution, criminal litigation, property practice, wills and probate, and business law and practice, ensuring candidates are prepared for the demands of day-to-day legal work.
Karen Seber, Learning & Development Partner, said: “We are delighted that Lucy, Ben and Kerry have successfully completed their SQE exams. They have the strong work ethic, skills and attributes needed to excel in their next roles. I would like to wish them all continued success on their journeys to becoming newly qualified solicitors as they continue their legal careers with us.”
