Solicitor apprenticeship

We don’t believe there's a set path in law—university isn't for everyone, and we appreciate that.

Our six-year Solicitor Apprenticeship Program offers school leavers with an interest in law an alternative route to qualifying as a solicitor. If you want to kickstart your legal career straight out of secondary education, read on to learn how we can help you unleash your limitless potential.

As a solicitor apprentice, you’ll join our inclusive culture that allows you to be yourself, with support to help you become who you want to be. We want to support talent from the outset, so we’ll also offer you support as you transition from school to joining the firm.

Our six-year program has been designed to help you hit the ground running from day one. You'll work towards an LLB (Hons) law degree and a Solicitor Level 7 Apprenticeship. Each week you'll spend four days working in a practice area on client cases, with one day studying with our training provider, University of Law (ULaw). We'll pay for your apprenticeship tuition fee and during your apprenticeship you'll be eligible for our benefits.

When you begin your apprenticeship, you’ll be matched with an apprentice champion—an associate—who’ll introduce you to colleagues and help you settle in.
