Solicitor Apprenticeship
Start your legal career with us. We are offering five successful candidates the opportunity to join our apprenticeship programme in our Tunbridge Wells and Horsham offices.
Designed for Year 13 students and school leavers, our solicitor apprenticeship offers a practical route into law for those who are ready to learn, contribute and build their skills from day one—without studying full-time at university.
Over six years, you will spend four days a week gaining valuable experience on the job and one day completing online training with BPP University Law School.
You will rotate around the business and work alongside solicitors across our three core markets. From drafting legal documents and carrying out research to meeting clients, you will gain real responsibility and a broad understanding of life in a law firm.
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.
