Birmingham solicitor apprenticeship

The programme

We’re pleased to be recruiting for our next cohort of solicitor apprentices across our four offices in the UK – Birmingham, Exeter, London and Manchester. Not only will you be able to find a more accessible path into law, you’ll be earning while you learn in a top 50 law firm.

We created a different route into our firm because we believe in making the legal profession an even playing field. One where success is not based on someone’s background, but on their unique perspectives, drive and work ethic. If you’re considering a career in law but aren’t sure where to start, or if you’ve just begun to explore the idea of becoming a solicitor, this opportunity is for you.

During the first four years of the programme, you'll complete your law degree. In the final years, you'll complete the Solicitors Qualifying Examination, all while being exposed to a wide variety of departments. You’ll be involved in real work, collaborating closely with your colleagues at all levels and getting a feel for the welcoming and supportive Trowers & Hamlins LLP culture. 

Application process

The application process begins with our online application form. Once you have submitted your application, you'll be invited to complete an online assessment, which aims to consider your strengths alongside the role of a solicitor apprentice.

If you're successful after the application and online assessment, the final stage is an assessment centre. The assessment centre will comprise of a maximum of three exercises, including a written exercise, a strengths-based interview and a group exercise. 

Benefits/rewards

Apprentices at Trowers & Hamlins receive a competitive salary (salaries are reviewed annually) and benefits package, which includes five weeks' annual leave each year, pension scheme, interest-free season ticket loan and access to private medical insurance.
