Some of the main jobs of solicitors have to undertake are; representing their clients, compiling legal documents, communicating with professionals and spending time with clients discussing their cases. In order to become a solicitor you will require a lot of training as law is a very competitive industry with lots of graduates looking for jobs.

There is a set route which you will need to follow in order to become a qualified solicitor. If your degree is not a law degree then you will need to complete a law conversion course. Law graduates and Law conversion course graduates also both need to complete the LPC Legal practice course which is a vocational course that gives you the skills that you will require in order to apply law to actual real life scenarios. You will then need to complete a training contract with a firm of solicitors where you will be known as a trainee solicitor. When you have completed the training you will be able to call yourself a solicitor.

Obtaining a permanent job at a legal firm can be difficult due to the sheer amount of candidates entering the field of law. It is a good idea to thoroughly research your options in order to know when to apply for each stage.

Training is usually carried out in a firm of solicitors although some places are available through other legal organisations too. The office environment may differ greatly from form to firm depending on location, firm size and specialist subjects.

If your ultimate goal is to become a solicitor then you will need to secure a training place as soon as possible. Work experience in a law firm is also very important and favoured by potential employers.
