This new route involves having to accumulate two years full time worth of qualified work experience. Under the old route, this specifically would have to be at a law firm through a training contract. However under this new route, it can be at any organisation that offers legal services and can be at up to 4 different organisations. This is the best time ever to join Flex Legal. It is an incredible opportunity for students and graduates regardless of their degree to apply to work through Flex Legal as they will provide you access to a significant selection of organisations that will offer you legal work experience to build up your QWE. They provide exceptional video, tips, highlights, podcasts, newsletters, materials and virtual events that all help you to not only break into but navigate through the legal industry.
