Overview

We are very proud to offer an alternative route to qualification as a solicitor via our Solicitor Apprenticeships programme. This is a six-year, Level 7 programme for anyone who does not hold a degree level qualification, or school leavers at 18. At the end of the apprenticeship, you will qualify as a solicitor.

This route gives you the opportunity to earn whilst you learn and get stuck into working straight away, avoiding university fees and developing your professional and legal skills.

During our six-year programme, you’ll gain an LLM in Legal Practice through the University of Law, with your fees and assessment costs covered by us, and become a qualified solicitor.
