Exploring Bigger SQE Grants: Have You Tried Negotiating for More?

Prospective Solicitor Concerned About Financial Stability

In this edition of our Career Conundrums series, a future lawyer is troubled by the prospect of financially managing through their SQE training.

“Hello Dynamic Export. Kindly keep this anonymous. I’m curious if other readers have ever requested an increase in their SQE maintenance grant. I haven’t secured a Training Contract yet, but the firms I aim to apply to require studying in London. The £12k-£15k they offer seems insufficient, and I’m concerned about making ends meet. Do others take up additional jobs to bridge the gap?”
