Applications are now open for our Solicitor Apprenticeship commencing in September 2026.

About the Programme

Our Level 7 Solicitor Apprenticeship Programme provides, the perfect launchpad for a rewarding legal career. We have partnered with BPP Law School in designing a programme to provide our apprentices with the foundational knowledge of the law and the opportunity to put your learning into practice through real life, on-the-job experience. Our work environment will support you throughout your learning journey, with one-on-one mentoring and meaningful guidance from our experienced lawyers.

Eligibility

To be eligible for this programme, you must have completed your A Levels (or equivalent qualifications) by September 2026.

We require candidates to have a minimum of 7 GCSEs at grade 6 or above, and on track to receive AAB at A Level or equivalent (e.g. BTECs, International Baccalaureate). If you have mitigating circumstances, we may take these into account when shortlisting candidates.

Application Process

Our application process is broken down into 3 stages.

• Online application form
• Legal High Potential Online Assessment
• Solicitor Apprentice Recruitment Day (to be held in-person in late March 2026)

Using AI in Applications

The firm embraces responsible use of technology, including AI, across our work. Therefore, we ask that if you wish to use GenAI to support your application, you do so responsibly. Please remember that GenAI tools only have access to certain information and further research and verification on the points identified is encouraged. We also ask that you maintain a personal touch in your application, rather than using generic responses that are usually generated using GenAI tools. Throughout the application your answers should reflect your own work, abilities and experiences.

If you have any further questions about the programme or the application process, please visit our website where you can find FAQs and information on where you can meet us both virtually and in-person.
