Are you thinking about a legal apprenticeship?
Do you want to earn while you learn, work alongside some of the best minds in law, and start building a career with purpose from day one?
At Burges Salmon, we're committed to lighting up the world of law by bringing fresh thinking, curiosity, and collaboration to the challenges our clients face. As a legal apprentice, you'll play a part in that journey, working alongside talented colleagues to make a meaningful impact, and grow your skills in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Our Legal Apprenticeship Programme offers you the opportunity to qualify as a solicitor while earning a salary and gaining invaluable hands-on experience. Based in our Bristol office and delivered in partnership with BPP University, you'll complete the Level 7 Solicitor Apprenticeship over six years, the same timeframe as completing a law degree, SQE, and Training Contract, while developing your career from day one.
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.
