Navigating the Evolving Legal Qualification Landscape: A Roundtable with The College of Legal Practice - 21 October 2026
21st October 2026 at Stephens Scown, Exeter at 12:30pm.
As legal qualification routes continue to diversify, organisations face important decisions about how best to develop future legal talent.
Join The College of Legal Practice for a roundtable discussion examining the latest developments in the SQE, Solicitor and Chartered Legal Executive apprenticeships pathways. Against the backdrop of the SRA's SQE review, where the SQE exam itself is changing, we will explore each route and the mix of qualification pathways that can support your talent strategies and how to position them within the firm.
The session will focus on helping employers understand which qualification options are most appropriate for different employee groups, considering factors such as role requirements, career aspirations and learning preferences. The College will also update on how they are driving success in the SQE exams through structured client service and reporting.
In addition to practical guidance, participants will have the opportunity to share best practice and discuss common challenges relating to their early careers programmes.

Samantha Marsh has spent her career navigating the complexities of both the living and the departed. After years as a conveyancing solicitor—mastering the art of the 'missing boundary fence' she transitioned to the bench, becoming an Assistant Coroner in 2015. She has been the Senior Coroner for Somerset since the 1st April 2022. This is a role defined by the pursuit of answers and upholding of judicial integrity. A firm believer in the independence of the judiciary, she brings a unique approach to combining the law and serving the public of Somerset.
