Legal Career at Tollers

We offer Training Contracts as well as Solicitor Apprenticeships. Both are routes to qualifying as a solicitor in England and Wales. The Training Contract route is subject to successful candidates passing the LPC. The Solicitor Apprenticeships offer a route to qualification through completing the SQE and the relevant course at BPP University Law School (BPP), our chosen course provider.

We offer two types of Solicitor Apprenticeships: the Graduate Solicitor Apprenticeship (aimed at law graduates and non-law graduates who have completed the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL)) and the Solicitor Apprenticeship (aimed at school leavers or individuals without a law degree or the GDL). Whichever route appeals to you, you will be given the same structured and supportive training from us.

What are we looking for:

Team Skills:
You will be an essential part of the team and need to be able to interact comfortably with your peers and Partners, both on a work and a social level.

Commercial Acumen:
Being technically astute is not enough. Value is added to clients by understanding the commercial world in which they operate in.

Intellectual Ability:
For Training Contracts and the Graduate Solicitor Apprenticeships, you will need to have the ability to gain at least a 2:1 in your principal degree. For Solicitor Apprenticeships for school leavers, you will need to 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.

Success:
As well as academic success, achievement in other areas of your life is important.

Resilience:
You need to be comfortable working under pressure in tough situations. Legal work is generally hard and demanding and will test you to the limit.

Humour:
We believe that you work better in a supportive and fun environment. In return, we offer outstanding all-round legal training, excellent rates of pay and a generous holiday and benefits package.
