Avantia Law Launches SQE Program to Train the Next Generation of Lawyers 

We’re proud to announce the launch of our Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) training program, designed to support the development of our UK based junior legal professionals. This initiative underscores Avantia’s commitment to the future of legal services by ensuring our team is equipped with both legal expertise and cutting-edge technological proficiency. 

As part of the program, Avantia Law will sponsor cohorts of its junior team members to study for and take the UK SQE exams, providing them with the foundational legal knowledge and qualifications essential to their careers. The program is part of Avantia’s broader vision to integrate AI into legal practice while developing the next generation of lawyers to maintain the knowledge, commercial judgment, and legal expertise that clients expect. 

“Avantia is redefining the future of legal services, and that means investing in the next generation of lawyers,” said Hannah Thompson, COO of Avantia Law. “The SQE program provides our junior lawyers with a strong legal foundation, and at Avantia, we take that further by offering real-world client experience and integrating technology into their daily work. Our goal is to produce lawyers who are not only legal experts but also adept at leveraging technology to deliver better outcomes for clients.” 

 The SQE program reflects Avantia Law’s belief in a new way of working—one where legal professionals are trained from the outset to harness AI as a tool to augment their specialist legal expertise. By embedding AI literacy and legal technology fluency into the training of its lawyers, we’re setting a new standard for the industry.  

“Our technology is built to enhance, not replace, legal expertise,” said Hannah. “Ava enables our legal teams to operate with greater efficiency and insight, but it’s our people who drive the real impact. As our first cohort enters the program, we’ll be working closely with them to ensure it meets their need and the needs of the future.” 

Avantia’s investment in its junior team is part of a wider commitment to innovation, excellence, and the responsible integration of technology into legal practice. By equipping future lawyers with a combination of AI fluency and expert legal knowledge, Avantia reinforces our position at the forefront of legal services.
