Solicitor apprenticeship

We're looking to recruit two apprentices to start with the firm in August/September each year.

We offer a structured, six-year solicitor apprenticeship programme to help you reach your potential.

You'll have the chance to learn and work at the same time, building on the knowledge gained in your studies through having ‘hands on’ experience in a global, collaborative and entrepreneurial environment.

You'll be supported before the programme starts with a comprehensive onboarding and induction schedule. You'll have a dedicated supervisor in each seat, a skills coach to support with your studies, points of contact in the early careers team, and the chance to experience seats in both our business services and legal teams.

We look for solicitor apprentices who are:

• interested in a career in commercial law in an international law firm;
• pragmatic;
• motivated to work hard; and
• eager to make the most of their studies and learn from every opportunity.

We also look for those who have an interest in our industry sectors, but you don’t need any technical knowledge of our sectors – we can teach you that.

Applications open on 3 October 2024 and close on 28 February 2025. For more information on the programme and to apply, head to our website: Early careers | Solicitor appre­nticeship - HFW.
