External Solicitor QWE Verification Service
Tell us about your work experience and we'll handle the rest. We guide you through every step of the QWE sign-off process - from working out which competencies apply, to preparing your evidence, to SRA confirmation. Free of charge until your evidence is approved.
Before any payment is due, every candidate receives:
If your employer doesn't have a solicitor who can confirm your Qualifying Work Experience, you may need an independent external solicitor to review and confirm it. QWE Confirmed provides exactly this service - but more than that, we guide you through the entire process from start to finish.
Most candidates come to us unsure whether their experience qualifies, uncertain about which competencies are relevant, and unclear on what evidence they need to provide. That's completely normal - and it's exactly what we're here to help with. You tell us about your work experience, and we take it from there. We review your situation, explain which competencies from the SRA's Statement of Solicitor Competence apply, provide a tailored training record template, and give you detailed written guidance on preparing your evidence.
Our confirming solicitor has genuine in-house corporate and commercial experience and understands the breadth of legal work that happens outside traditional law firm settings - in-house legal teams, compliance functions, corporate governance roles, overseas legal departments, and organisations where the day-to-day supervisor is not an English-qualified solicitor. Every candidate receives personalised guidance by email, and we aim to respond to every message within 24 hours.

In their words
We don't ask for reviews. This is unsolicited feedback candidates sent us, unprompted, after we'd confirmed their QWE.
I am really impressed at the level of efficiency and the overall quality of your service.
I must say I am impressed by the speed and, most importantly, by how you have guided me in an understanding and patient way. Overall, the process has been absolutely clear and fair from the beginning, without any surprises or any “pay first, then we'll see” one would expect from such a service.
I actually reached out to a number of these ‘providers’ but QWE Confirmed was by far the most responsive. Massively impressed by the speed and professional responses from this service.
No upfront payment and no consultation fees. You only pay once we've confirmed your evidence meets the SRA's requirements.
You pay a flat amount based on the number of competencies confirmed, known upfront. Other services often charge by the hour or per placement, so the cost can creep up. With us, no surprises - and no extra charge for multiple placements.
Our confirming solicitor has genuine in-house and international experience, so work gained outside a law firm or outside England & Wales is welcome.
Everything is handled by email, with no calls or meetings to arrange. Work through it at your own pace, around your job and time zone, wherever you are in the world - while still getting personalised, detailed written guidance at every step, never generic templates.
We help you map the competencies that apply, give you a training record template to complete, and provide detailed written guidance throughout - so you're never working it out alone.
Fill in our short form with your background and a description of your work experience. That's all we need to get started - no competency selection, no sign-up, no payment.
Within 24 hours, we respond with a personalised assessment: which competencies apply to your experience, what evidence you'll need, and a tailored training record template with detailed instructions.
You prepare your evidence with our guidance. Our solicitor reviews it, provides feedback, and contacts your workplace supervisor. You only pay once we've confirmed everything meets the SRA's requirements.
You submit your QWE through mySRA, entering our confirming solicitor's details. The SRA then notifies our solicitor, who logs in and confirms your QWE, usually within 24 hours.
Every tier includes the same thorough process: personalised assessment, competency mapping, evidence guidance, full review, supervisor verification, and SRA confirmation coordination. The only variable is the number of competencies - and we determine which tier applies after reviewing your experience.
