Over the course of the six-year programme, you’ll draw upon your own ambitious and enthusiastic personality to develop your skills, learn new ones, and grow your legal knowledge.
By combining a wide mix of on-the-job and off-the-job training, you’ll gain a level 7 qualification and be a fully qualified solicitor following the six-year apprenticeship.
You’ll spend 20% of your time on off-the-job learning which equates to one day each week to study. Working with our chosen provider The University of Law (ULaw), we will incorporate any bespoke aspects of learning that we feel appropriate to your training and future success at RPC.
Every day will be different. One day you may be working on legal administrative tasks in paralegal teams, such as minute taking and producing data reports. Another day you may be carrying out research for business support teams.
What does the firm offer?
The firm will also provide a welcome bonus of £2,000 to solicitor apprentices a few months before you join the firm to assist with accommodation and workwear expenses. Along with a starting annual salary of £28,000, you’ll be offered a competitive and creative package of benefits.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We’re all unique. And that’s why RPC’s benefits package is too. We respect we’re all real people with passions, families, and lives away from our desks. We encourage that. So we offer you the chance to tailor your benefits, offering choice and flexibility to everyone who works here.
Our benefits package covers almost everything, from wellness festivals and social events to extra annual leave and family and wealth-related rewards.
