This six-year Level 7 apprenticeship offers an alternative route to qualification as a solicitor, designed for school leavers at 18 or those without a degree-level qualification. You'll study for an LLM in Legal Practice through the University of Law while working at Bates Wells, with tuition fees and assessment costs covered by the firm. You'll earn whilst you learn, develop practical legal skills from day one, and qualify as a solicitor at the end of the programme, avoiding traditional university fees and gaining valuable professional experience.
