Job Description:

We are looking for post A-level students dedicated to a career in law to join the firm in September 2025, with a view to complete the Solicitor Apprenticeship Programme and qualify as a Solicitor.

The apprenticeship is an alternative path to going to University that offers the same career destination, but avoids the expensive fees. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for an alternative to University and offers an alternative route to becoming a qualified lawyer in England & Wales.

Our Solicitor Apprenticeship allows you to earn whilst you learn, with a structured programme, which is approximately six years in length. It combines paid work experience and training at a Law Firm with part-time study for a professional qualification.

During your first four years you will work with one team, developing your legal knowledge, building your academic knowledge of the Law as well as developing your internal and external network. In the final two years you will join the trainee solicitor intake and commence four additional seat rotations, each of six months.
