Lyons Bowe is proud to be associated with industry-leading awards and qualifications, reflecting our commitment to excellence and innovation in law.
The team at Lyons Bowe have been great, replying promptly to any questions and always helpful. The progress updates throughout the process, has been very helpful and really keeps you informed as to where you are within the timeline.
Excellent service. Quietly attentive, sympathetic listeners, and efficient practitioners, all that a worried applicant could wish for. And especially unusual in this day and age....
Honestly I've never wanted to review solicitors before, they've been ok and have done their job at varying timescales. From the start, my partner and I have commented every single time when something happened how quick they are, and they're a delight to communicate with too! And their app is brilliant and has made things so much easier. We will use in the future and will not stop recommending.
I recently used Lyons Bowe Solicitors and had the pleasure of working with Holly as my point of contact. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Holly was professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient - she kept me updated throughout the entire process and made everything feel smooth and stress-free.
Rhea, and everyone so far at Lyons Bowe, have been truly fantastic. Excellent communication, chasing me rather than me chasing them, very pleasant in conversation and always ready to help. Highly recommend to anyone.
Everything was done quickly and efficiently and the app means you are kept informed every step of the way. Thank you.

Yes, in some cases. A law degree can be useful, but routes such as CLC and CILEX can be suitable for people from different academic and professional backgrounds.
Yes. Routes such as CLC and CILEX are commonly studied while working, allowing learners to build legal knowledge while gaining practical experience.
It may do. Previous legal study can sometimes affect where a learner starts, but this depends on the route, the modules studied, when the qualification was completed and any exemption rules that apply.
That depends on the legal career the learner wants to build. CLC may be relevant for conveyancing, property law or probate. CILEX may be relevant for wider legal practice areas such as Family Law. SQE may be relevant if the aim is to qualify as a solicitor.
Yes. Lyons Bowe works with Law Training Centre to support recognised qualification pathways, helping learners develop legal knowledge, gain practical experience and work towards the route that fits their career goals and the needs of the firm.
