Are you ready to start your legal career straight after school? Our Solicitor Apprenticeship offers a unique opportunity to earn a salary, gain practical legal experience and work towards becoming a qualified solicitor, all while learning from experienced legal professionals at a global law firm.
From your first day, you'll be part of our Property, Energy & Construction team, working on real client matters and developing the knowledge, skills and confidence needed for a successful career in law. You'll gain valuable hands-on experience, take on increasing responsibility, and build a strong foundation in legal practice while studying towards nationally recognised qualifications.
The apprenticeship combines work-based learning with academic study and includes the completion of an LLB (Hons) degree and the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). On successful completion of the programme, you will qualify as a solicitor approximately six years after leaving school, having gained extensive legal experience throughout your apprenticeship.
