Solicitor Apprenticeship

Designed for school leavers at the start of their careers, our Solicitor Apprenticeships give students the opportunity to become first-class lawyers over a six-year programme, without needing a university degree.

What you’ll gain

We believe talented and ambitious people will always thrive with the right investment and support. With our Solicitor Apprenticeship programme, we are giving you the opportunity to gain the qualifications and experience to excel in a leading law firm, while earning a salary of £28,000 in the first year of your apprenticeship (increasing every year). 

Work experience

Across the six-year programme you will gain experience across our legal departments including time in our Banking, Corporate, International Capital Markets and Litigation Departments. Each year, you’ll gain a wide variety of experience but with the security of a training principal to guide you, with further opportunities for secondments in years 5 and 6.

Study time

In years 1 to 4, apprentices study one day a week at BPP University learning about the English Legal System. Apprentices also have coaching and skills development training at BPP University, with a dedicated point of contact for support. In years 5 and 6 apprentices will focus on the SQE with their professional portfolio signed-off in year 6. 

Growth and development

We offer exceptional professional and personal development – providing training, mentoring and practical support. In every year of the solicitor apprenticeship, you have mentors and other dedicated points of contact to ensure that you receive the best pastoral care possible. With us, you will constantly be learning and growing.
