  • Answering telephone calls and taking initial client details and instructions
  • Welcoming clients and assisting with reception/front-of-house duties
  • Responding to initial client queries as instructed by a solicitor
  • Managing appointments, diaries, and daily appointment reminders
  • Opening, maintaining, and organising electronic and paper files
  • Scanning, uploading, and saving correspondence and documents to the case-management system
  • Uploading documents and information to Home Office and other online portals under supervision
  • Preparing routine correspondence and emails as instructed
  • Contacting clients to request documents and information
  • Assisting with completion of forms and administrative aspects of legal applications
  • Assisting with preparation and organisation of document bundles
  • Liaising with clients, solicitors, barristers, and other professionals where instructed
  • Maintaining accurate records of telephone calls, messages, and work undertaken
  • Carrying out general office administration, filing, and document management
  • Supporting fee earners with supervised casework as skills and experience develop

The apprentice will receive training and supervision. The role is primarily a business administration apprenticeship within a legal environment, with opportunities to gain greater exposure to legal casework as competence develops.

Training

Apprenticeships include time away from working for specialist training. You’ll study to gain professional knowledge and skills.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
