Law Firms Named Top Apprenticeship Employers

Three law firms, Weightmans, Brethertons Solictors and Addleshaw Goddard, have been named in the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers.

The list was compiled by a panel of judges who named companies for their exceptional contribution to apprenticeships.

The list was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who said, “The Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers have clearly demonstrated how apprenticeships have a major part to play in building great businesses. I would encourage more businesses across England to follow these shining examples and find out how apprenticeships can help them build a skilled, motivated and highly qualified workforce.”

Rob Williams, Partner and Board Director at Weightmans said, “We are delighted to be included in the Top 100 apprenticeships employers list. We are the first employer in the country to recruit a Higher Apprentice in Legal Services and hope to help many more young people who have chosen the apprenticeship route into a successful legal career.”
