Supporting law firms and your legal talent

At BARBRI we recognise that every law firm has different needs and approaches when it comes to supporting early careers talent through SQE and beyond – see how we can help you

How we support law firms

Utilising our team’s deep experience with SQE and professional education, we take the time to understand your firm and your priorities in order to support your future success – and we are by your side every step of the way.

BARBRI supports over 250 law firms from the Magic Circle to mid-tier, as well as small and medium-sized firms right across the UK and further afield. We use this experience to share insights, ideas and qualification pathways that will work for your organisation. Our flexible, accessible and dynamic approach to learning, and our market-leading pass rates, make BARBRI your partner of choice for legal education – be that for trainees, paralegals, lawyers qualified in other jurisdictions – or any other legal professional.

We offer the highest level of support to our law firm partners, including monthly student progress reports, immediate access to live courses, exam vouchers and a hands-on client services team. We pride ourselves on being responsive, client-oriented and focused on you and your learners’ success.

"

We were very struck by BARBRI's overall offering for SQE provision, in particular, its ambition, dynamism and superlative use of technology, which aligns closely with our own ethos. Their pitch went above and beyond our expectations. But it was their position on, and commitment to, inclusion and diversity which really chimed with us. As a core pillar of the Firm's strategy, we know we want to go further, do better in this area - and BARBRI are going to help us to get where we want to be."
