Last month, we held our Future Lawyers Convention (FLC) series in four major cities across the UK, London, Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol. It was wonderful meeting so many aspiring lawyers, addressing queries on everything from the SQE to the QWE, and seeing their enthusiasm during our workshops and sessions.
While this year's FLC has come to a close, you can still stay up-to-date with any future events by following us on our socials. π

Meet Georgia Fowler, now Business Affairs and Publishing Coordinator at Hospital Records. With a background in English, History and Sociology, she chose the SQE route for its flexibility, ideal for working full time while studying.
Georgia shares how support from her employer and family helped her overcome challenges like long commutes, intense study schedules and feeling isolated. Her determination, combined with BARBRIβs structured study plan, made all the difference.
Georgia's story proves that there's no one-size-fits-all path to qualifying. To read more of her SQE journey, click the link below.
