Over a six-year period, through work-based learning (four days a week) at a law firm and study (one day a week) at one of the UK’s leading law schools, apprentices gain valuable legal experience as well as a Law Degree (LLB) and the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE).

The key benefits compared to the traditional trainee solicitor route are far more extensive work opportunities and exposure, and the ability to earn while you learn, with no University fees or student debt. And please be assured that this route into the profession is equally as prestigious.
