Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme (QLTS) The Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme helps you become a solicitor of England and Wales if you are already a qualified lawyer in one of our recognised jurisdictions. You can also take this route if you are a qualified barrister in England and Wales and have completed your pupillage.
You need to be a qualified lawyer
This means we have determined that your qualification as a lawyer:
gives you rights of audience;
makes you an officer of the court in the jurisdiction in which you have qualified; and
has been awarded as part of a generalist (non-specialist) legal education and training
You need to be from a recognised jurisdiction
to qualify as a lawyer specific education and training at least equivalent to that of an English and Welsh Bachelor's degree has been completed;
members of the qualified lawyers' profession are bound by an ethical code which requires them to act without conflict of interest and to respect their clients interests and confidentiality; and
qualified lawyers are subject to disciplinary sanctions for breach of the profession’s ethical code, including removal of the right to practise.
