Legal Apprenticeships
Solicitor Apprenticeship
This is a 6 year Apprenticeship. To be eligible to apply, you must have gained Grade 5 or C or above in your G.C.S.Es and 3 A Levels (or equivalent), equating to 128 UCAS points or higher. We offer between 1 and 2 Solicitor Apprenticeships, starting in September each year.
We work with our chosen course provider, BPP, where Solicitor Apprentices will complete a Solicitor Level 7 Apprenticeship. The course, combined with the training with us, will mean that you achieve a Level 6 LLB (Hons) Law and Legal Practice and will qualify as a Solicitor of England and Wales upon completion, providing you have passed both parts of the SQE.
You will spend 20% of your time over the course of your apprenticeship on “off-the-job” training. This will take place during normal working hours. To find out more, click here.
All of our training positions have now been filled until September 2028.
Therefore, if you would still like to be considered for a Graduate Apprenticeship/Solicitor Apprenticeship/Training Contract, please re-apply from 1st January 2028 but no later than 31st May 2028.
Graduate Solicitor Apprenticeship
This is a 2.5 year Apprenticeship and works like a Training Contract; as such, we employ individuals under a Training Contract and under the Graduate Solicitor Apprenticeship as “Trainee Solicitors”. The main difference is that you will spend five (rather than four) “seats” of six months each. These are spent in different units/offices within the firm, and you will be undertaking “off-the-job” training.
To be eligible, you must have completed a law degree and obtained a 2:1 or above, or where you are a non-law graduate; you must have also completed the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL). We offer between 2 and 4 Graduate Solicitor Apprenticeships and/ or Training Contracts, starting in September each year.
We work with BPP in order that you can complete a Level 6 Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice as part of the Graduate Entry Solicitor Apprenticeship (Day release study) and will qualify as a Solicitor of England and Wales upon completion, providing you have passed both parts of the SQE.
You will spend 20% of your time over the course of your apprenticeship on “off-the-job” training. This will take place during normal working hours. To find out more, click here.
