SQE qualification to Head of Legal and building an in house legal team 28:56

28:56

In this transparent and inspiring conversation with Rowan Turrall , Partner in our Dispute Resolution team, Emma Lilley shares her remarkable journey from entering law through clearing (after missing the grades for her preferred music degree) to becoming Head of Legal at SDWorks. Her path challenges every conventional assumption about what makes a successful lawyer, demonstrating how determination and authenticity can triumph over traditional expectations. Emma's discovery of in-house legal practice during a gap year in Australia became the foundation for her career path . Rather than following the prescribed route through private practice, she forged her own way, ultimately qualifying and building a legal function from scratch. Her practical advice on succeeding as a sole counsel – prioritising relationships before implementing changes – offers valuable insights for anyone establishing legal operations in a business setting. Perhaps most valuable is Emma's detailed explanation of how the SQE qualification route has made in-house training more accessible than ever before. For aspiring lawyers and legal leaders alike, she demystifies the process and makes a compelling case for why businesses should offer these opportunities. Episode Links Visit our website Contact us…

Barbri is an SQE preparation course provider and Lucie explains how the new routes to qualification have opened up the legal ecosystem, not just for those looking to qualify but also for employers. Lucie also discusses how the SQE has enabled the in-house community to discover new ways of approaching workforce strategy, and upskilling and attracting talent. Dilsha shares the challenges that CAA has faced in recruiting and retaining talent on a limited budget and her advice to in-house teams around knowing and having your USP thread through the recruitment process. Mark discusses the recent findings of BCL’s salary survey and the importance for employers to identify what the role or opportunity is going to give to someone who is not unhappy in their current role. Mark also shares his thoughts around recruitment budgets and the impact of competition from law firms who often offer more flexibility in terms of hybrid working than in-house roles. We asked the audience whether the introduction of the SQE had made them think differently about how they may recruit junior talent. The answer was overwhelmingly “Yes”.
