About The Programme
Our six-year Legal Solicitor Apprenticeship offers a unique opportunity to build your legal knowledge and business development experience while studying for a law degree. You'll be at the heart of the action from day one - doing real work, delivering real results, and gaining recognition for your achievements.

You'll work with clients from sectors including Future Energy, Digital, Financial Services, Leisure, Food & Drink, Public Sector, Real Estate, and Retail & Consumer Goods.

Throughout the programme, you'll be supported by a dedicated supervisor who will help you develop your technical legal knowledge and commercial awareness. Alongside your university studies, you'll also attend development workshops designed to build the mindset, focus, and resilience needed for a successful legal career.

Programme Structure

Years 1–2
: Foundation Stage (Junior Paralegal to Paralegal Level)

Apprentices begin at Junior Paralegal level, undertaking two 12-month rotations across different legal teams.

Academic study mirrors the early years of a traditional law degree, covering foundational law and practice including public law, contract law, tort law and dispute resolution, legal research, and professional practice skills.

Work will vary by team but typically includes legal admin, research tasks, and early exposure to client matters.

Years 3–4
: Development Stage (Paralegal to Senior Paralegal Level)

Apprentices continue with two further 12-month rotations, taking on more complex legal work.

Academic study covers further areas of law and practice such as criminal law, land law, company law and trusts law and coaching and professional practice skills.

Ongoing supervision and mentoring help apprentices refine their legal and commercial skills.

Years 5–6
: Trainee Solicitor Stage

Apprentices join the Trainee Solicitor cohort and complete four 6-month seat rotations.

During this time, they will prepare for and undertake the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE).

Work becomes increasingly aligned with that of a newly qualified solicitor, with greater responsibility and client exposure.
