Solicitor apprenticeship

Launch into law is our new solicitor apprenticeship programme. It’s for bright, determined and confident school leavers who want to start their career at a leading global law firm without having to go to university. 

Over six years as a launch into law apprentice, you’ll earn a salary while studying and get all the experience you need to make your mark at our firm. The programme offers a professional-level (level 7) degree apprenticeship that provides a mix of on-the-job learning and formal study.

You’ll spend four days a week working in our City of London offices, and one day studying at the University of Law. You’ll be awarded an LLB (Hons) Legal Practice Skills and complete the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations. You’ll graduate ready to start your career as a newly qualified associate, with unbeatable experience of working as a commercial lawyer in the City of London.

Rotating through multiple different practice groups, you will get a hands-on understanding of what we do for our clients around the world and how we do it. You’ll be part of our friendly teams from day one, working side-by-side with our lawyers on real client work, often the matters that make the business headlines.  

You’ll get exposure to exciting, real work, deadlines and practical legal knowledge across different parts of our business that will stand you in great stead as a future lawyer. Expect to build a fantastic network of friends and colleagues along the way. 

We’ll support you at every step to develop the professional and personal skills that will help you succeed.
