Solicitor apprentice

Our solicitor apprenticeship programme is a career pathway for people seeking to qualify as a solicitor without having to attend university full-time. The programme lasts six years, during which time you'll be working across a range of teams, while studying one-day a week with BPP University Law School. Throughout the six years, you'll earn a competitive salary and we'll also cover your entire tuition fees. Furthermore, you'll receive guidance and feedback from your work-based supervisor, as well as ongoing support from a dedicated BPP Study Coach.

Description

Solicitor apprentices will spend their first 12 months based in business function teams – such as risk and compliance, knowledge and information and research. Here, you'll develop your knowledge, gain transferable skills and broaden your understanding of how law firms operate.

Over the following three years, you'll have the opportunity to spend 12 months in several different practice areas including real estate, corporate, asset finance or dispute resolution. Throughout these rotations you'll gain valuable experiences while developing your legal skills.

Typical tasks include legal research, engaging with clients, assisting fee earners with tasks, document management and article writing. For the final two years, you’ll rotate practice groups every four months. At this point there will be an opportunity to spend four months based in one of our international offices.
