Solicitor Apprentice Open Day (In-Person)

Location: Bird & Bird London office, 12 New Fetter Ln, London EC4A 1JP

Our open day for aspiring solicitor apprentices is an opportunity to gain an insight into what life is like as a solicitor apprentice at Bird & Bird. From insight talks, panel discussions and Q&As, to workshops and skill sessions, there’s so much to discover!

We operate rolling recruitment, which means we screen applications as they are received, rather than after our deadline. Therefore, we encourage you to apply as early as possible.

At the time of submitting your application, you should be:

- in your final year of A-Levels (Year 13) or have already completed school or college (e.g., on a gap year or working);

- at least 18 years of age on 1 September 2027; and

- have the right to work in the UK.

AND

- have achieved 5 GCSEs including English and Maths at grade 9-4/A*-C; and

- have achieved or be on track to AAB in your A-Levels

We understand that you may not have received the grades you hoped for due to extenuating or mitigating circumstances. Please detail any relevant information in your application for us to take into consideration. We also use a Contextual Recruitment System (CRS) to enable us to recruit people from different backgrounds and help us understand your achievements in the context in which they were gained.
