Through our Solicitor Apprenticeship programme, we will provide world-class training, ongoing development and financial support that will allow you to realise your full potential.
If you’re interested in a career in commercial law but don’t see yourself going to university then our Solicitor Apprenticeship programme may be for you. This programme is aimed at Year 13 students (or equivalent) and school leavers without a degree. The programme is open to anyone regardless of their socio-economic background.
Meet our first cohort of Solicitor Apprentices
How it works
You’ll spend one day per week at university studying towards your degree. As a student you will attend sessions, workshops and events aimed at providing you with all the necessary knowledge to complete your qualification.
The rest of the week you’ll be working in our London office, where you will receive on-the-job training and learn the key skills you need to become a successful legal professional. You’ll be assigned to a legal practice area and will rotate every 12 months during the first four years to provide you with the opportunity to get to know different teams and different areas of commercial law. Throughout the six years, you’ll attend Linklaters’ legal training courses and have access to professional development sessions and events.
In each department, a Principal (a senior lawyer) will be on hand to train and supervise you. There will also be mentors and buddies available throughout the six years to provide career guidance and support to help you succeed!
