Solicitor Apprenticeship Programme

Applications for this year's Solicitor Apprenticeship Programme are now closed. Applications for our 2024 programme will open early next year.

Start your journey  to becoming a solicitor.

As well as studying towards your LLB in Legal Practice and Skills, you will be required to take the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s (SRA) new centralised assessment, the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE), which will be sat in two parts.

You’ll receive support and guidance from both us and the University of Law throughout your apprenticeship. Once you have passed the SQE assessments, you will be a qualified solicitor.

Areas of work

The apprenticeship will give you real-life experience of working in a commercial law firm and the tools you need to become a competent solicitor. You’ll spend time in various departments/teams across the firm over a six-year period, with the opportunity to tailor your experience to suit your career interests.

Am I eligible to apply?

The below academic grades are required by the course provider (University of Law):

  • 3 A Levels (or equivalent) at grade C or above (predicted to achieve)
  • 5 GCSEs (or equivalent) including Maths and English at grade C/4 or above

However, if you do not have the required grades we would still encourage you to apply, as we will review each application on its own merit.

Please note that we cannot accept applications if you have already completed a degree. Please consider applying for our Trainee Solicitor Programme here.

Don’t just take our word for it

Since I joined Glaisyers in 2018 the training and professional development has been fantastic. There is a clear route of progression as I have gone from office assistant to enrolling on a solicitor apprenticeship scheme in such a short space of time.
