The SRA asked to review our process for confirming QWE as an External Solicitor for an Aspiring Solicitor we'd helped: https://hunningsconsultancy.co.uk/external-qwe-certification-service-2/ We've always been very careful to ensure our process follows what the SRA requires and that each step is carefully documented (Ingemar is a litigator and so naturally prepares his work as if he is expecting the judge to view it!). We received the news last week that the SRA had told our client that they found the process acceptable and so they admitted him as a solicitor of England & Wales. 🙂
We have long held the view that the SRA should audit those who confirm QWE to ensure there is no abuse. We are pleased that we have now gone through a review by the SRA and they have found that our approach meets their requirements.
We have so far helped over 100 Aspiring Solicitors from around the world by acting as their external confirming solicitor, where they did not have an SRA regulated solicitor to confirm their QWE. We are a port of last resort to help them move forward and qualify. If they already have an SRA regulated solicitor who can confirm their QWE we advise them to use that person.
