Solicitor Apprentice

Solicitor Apprenticeship

Start your legal career with us. We are offering five successful candidates the opportunity to join our apprenticeship programme in our Tunbridge Wells and Horsham offices.

Designed for Year 13 students and school leavers, our solicitor apprenticeship offers a practical route into law for those who are ready to learn, contribute and build their skills from day one—without studying full-time at university.

Over six years, you will spend four days a week gaining valuable experience on the job and one day completing online training with BPP University Law School.

You will rotate around the business and work alongside solicitors across our three core markets. From drafting legal documents and carrying out research to meeting clients, you will gain real responsibility and a broad understanding of life in a law firm.
