Three more overseas legal education providers are to offer prep courses for the new Solicitors Qualification Exam (SQE).
Spain’s IE Law School, Paris Dauphine – PSL University of France and Singapore-based Asia Bar Review have all partnered with BARBRI to offer the course to international students.
US-founded BARBRI arrived in the UK some years ago with a view to taking advantage of the shake-up in legal education. It has proved one of the most significant new players on the scene, striking several partnerships to deliver SQE prep courses, including with King’s College and Manchester University. At the end of March it was acquired by global investment firm Francisco Partners for an undisclosed sum from Leeds Equity Partners.
