Can a supervising solicitor confirm your QWE if you and/or they no longer work for the organisation?

One of 78 answers in the FQPS Academy SQE FAQ library, covering how to qualify as a solicitor in England and Wales.

Yes, a supervising solicitor can confirm your QWE even if they no longer work for the same organisation as you. However, they must have reviewed your work for the period of work experience they are confirming. If you're claiming for work completed after they left, they should have received feedback from the person now supervising your work.

Still not sure how this applies to you?
