The University of Law (ULaw) has struck another training partnership with a major law firm — this time in China.
The deal with TianTai Law Firm will look to support aspiring lawyers based in China who wish to gain the right to practise English law via the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE).
ULaw will provide access to its various training courses and mock exams through its online campus, with students having the option to study on a full-time or part-time basis.
TianTai Law Firm was established in 1994 making it one of the “earliest large-scale law firms in China”, according to its website. The Beijing-headquartered outfit boasts around 1,500 lawyers across 28 offices.
“This partnership marks the first major cooperation project between a Chinese law firm and a leading British university, to jointly train international lawyers to be familiar with and to master English law,” commented Zhang Weijun, director and senior partner of TianTai Law Firm’s Shanghai office. “This is a key cooperation between China and the UK in the field of legal practice.”
