Paralegal Apprentice

If you're looking to build your legal career in a dynamic, fast-paced team environment, whilst gaining hands-on experience, look no further. If you've decided that university is not the route for you, but you are determined to follow a career in law, our Paralegal Apprenticeship scheme will give you a fantastic grounding and the opportunity to study and progress towards qualification as a Chartered Legal Executive or ultimately, a Solicitor.

This role would be an excellent first step into a career in law, having completed A-level or equivalent study. You will have the chance to earn while you learn, gaining valuable experience and skills as you work alongside our experienced professionals, learning the fundamentals of legal practice as we invest in your talents.

This is a 24-month programme and after successful completion, you will gain a recognised CILEx qualification and be ready to move into a Paralegal role within the firm. You will have off-the-job time dedicated to your study which will be delivered by an authorised training provider and all course and training fees will be paid by the firm.
