Can Fellows and Members of ILEX (Institute of Legal Executives) go on to qualify as Solicitors?
A. Yes. Members and Fellows of the Institute of Legal Executives (ILEX) who have undertaken further courses and training in compliance with the Law Society’s training regulations may be admitted to the Roll of Solicitors of England and Wales. ILEX students are normally employed in legal practice in their training programme which allows them to acquire the practical skills and experience required by the profession at an early stage in their careers. The security of employment may also alleviate funding difficulties. Another benefit is that Fellows of ILEX may be given exemption from the two year training contract.
