We are pleased to announce that Lauren Palmer from Dehns Litigation Group has officially qualified as a solicitor of England and Wales.

Lauren is the first candidate at Dehns to qualify via the SQE (Solicitors Qualifying Examination) route.

Her impressive route to qualification includes:

• SQE1 exams (July 2023): Scoring 78% in FLK1 and 74% in FLK2, placing her in the top quintile.
• SQE2 exams (August 2024): Achieving an overall mark of 82%, once again ranking in the top quintile.

After completing her 2-year qualifying work experience in January 2025, Lauren is now a fully qualified solicitor and will continue her role in Dehns’ Litigation Group. She plays an essential role in assisting clients with UK court litigation, preparing key documents (assignments, licenses, NDAs, co-existence agreements), and advising on a wide range of IP-related issues.

We are incredibly proud of Lauren’s hard work, dedication, and achievements, and we look forward to her continued success at Dehns!
