The Legal Practice Course

The Legal Practice Course (LPC) is a postgraduate training program in England and Wales that prepares aspiring solicitors for professional practice. It covers practical skills such as client interviewing, advocacy, and legal drafting, alongside essential knowledge of areas like property, firms, and business law. Completing the LPC is typically required before undertaking a training contract—an apprenticeship—in a law firm. It ensures candidates are equipped with both theoretical understanding and practical competencies necessary to start their career as a solicitor.
