Solicitor Apprenticeship 2026

This is a six year route to qualification which combines on-the-job learning with studying for a law degree and the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). If you are considering a career in Law, but are unsure about pursuing a university degree, a solicitor apprenticeship could be the route for you.

By the end of the six years, you'll be fully qualified as a Solicitor and have avoided student debt. Apprentices will be based in our London office and study one day per week with the University of Law.

Wedlake Bell is pleased to be part of the City Century Solicitor Apprentice initiative, working to raise awareness of the Solicitor Apprenticeship route.

This programme is aimed at Year 13 students and school leavers without a university degree. 

Further details are available on the Wedlake Bell website.
