Legal Solicitor Apprentice
Our six-year Legal Solicitor Apprenticeship offers a unique opportunity to build your legal knowledge and business development experience while studying for a law degree. You’ll be at the heart of the action from day one - doing real work, delivering real results, and gaining recognition for your achievements.
BPPWhy legal?
This is one of the most significant changes in professional entry in decades. The solicitor apprenticeship lets you qualify while employed and paid, with fees covered, in a profession that was previously all but closed to non-graduates. Competition is intense, so apply early and widely.
Common questions
Can I become a solicitor through an apprenticeship?
Yes. The Level 7 solicitor apprenticeship takes around six years and leads to full qualification, including the SQE assessments, while you work and earn.
Do I need a law degree?
No — that's the point of the route. You'll need strong A-Levels or equivalent, and the legal training is built into the apprenticeship.
How competitive are legal apprenticeships?
Very. Firms often recruit small numbers and applications open early, so apply as widely as you can.
