SOLICITOR APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME WITH MAYER BROWN

Deadline - 31/03/2023

Mayer Brown's Solicitor Apprenticeship is a great alternative to studying full-time at university if you wish to pursue a career in law without having to take out a student loan. You’ll earn your qualification through a combination of work and part-time study over a period of six years and, at the end of the program, you’ll have the same level of qualification as trainee solicitors who qualify through the traditional route.

Apprentice solicitors join the firm’s London office and spend their first 12-18 months developing an understanding of how the firm operates in business services departments such as Risk and Compliance and the Information Centre. At that point, you’ll be transferred into one of our legal practices.
