Legal Apprenticeships

Legal Apprenticeships

Now that legal apprenticeships are being offered as an alternative to the traditional graduate route to qualification it's possible to qualify as a solicitor, paralegal or chartered legal executive by completing an apprenticeship.

The standards expected of apprentice solicitors are the same as those expected of all solicitors, with rigorous assessments before they are admitted to the profession. An apprentice receives a salary and will complete a combination of classroom and work-based learning.

If you or anyone you know may be interested in becoming an apprentice, or if your firm would like to find out more about the apprenticeship scheme, then further information is available from the SRA, the Law Society, and the government's Get In, Go Far website.
