Mourant Launches SQE Trainee Programme for Aspiring Solicitors

In an exciting development for those seeking to learn the ropes of legal careers, Mourant has announced the opening of applications for its two-year Solicitor training course. The programme, known as the SQE Trainee Programme, is designed to offer a pathway to permanent associate roles at the firm and is a significant step towards becoming a qualified solicitor in England and Wales.

The SQE Trainee Programme is the main route to practice in England and Wales, and Mourant's offering provides a comprehensive learning experience. The course includes structured learning, valuable mentorship from experienced lawyers, and hands-on experience across Mourant's Guernsey practice.

Aspiring solicitors who are eligible for the programme typically hold a qualifying law degree or equivalent legal qualifications. The application deadline for Mourant's SQE Trainee Programme usually falls in late summer or early autumn, although exact dates may vary each year. Potential applicants are encouraged to confirm the deadline on Mourant's official recruitment page.

One of the key advantages of the SQE Trainee Programme is that it covers the cost of course costs, exam fees, and provides paid study leave. This means that trainees can focus on their studies and legal training without the added financial burden.

The SQE Trainee Programme aims to open doors to the profession and grow a diverse and talented team. It operates in a supportive and inclusive environment, providing trainees with the opportunity to learn and develop their skills.

Those who complete the course can apply for permanent associate roles at Mourant, offering a promising career path for successful trainees. Applications for the SQE Trainee Programme can be submitted online, and the programme is set to commence in Mourant's Guernsey office in September 2026.

In summary, Mourant's SQE Trainee Programme offers aspiring solicitors a start to their legal careers, providing a comprehensive learning experience, financial support, and a potential pathway to permanent roles at the firm.
