Job description
We recognise that university is not for everyone and welcome a pathway that acknowledges a different approach to kick start your career. Earn a salary from day one and build your skills and knowledge with experienced reputable professionals. Our Apprenticeship Schemes provide individuals with invaluable work experience in an award winning premium law firm.
This programme will see our Solicitor Apprentices develop their knowledge and skills further by getting involved in day to day tasks of an experienced Paralegal and Trainee Solicitor, whilst attending university one day a week. The programme will involve seat rotations, providing valuable insight into all the services we provide.
Whilst training as a solicitor apprentice, you will support the Paralegals and Senior Paralegals within the different sub teams in TST, as well as fee earners across the firm with routine legal tasks for the first four years. In the remaining two years of the apprenticeship, you will join the Trainee Solicitor cohort and will complete seat rotations organised by the Early Careers team to gain valuable insight into all the services we provide. You will also will have the option to apply to do a seat in the Innovation and Legal Technology team. The work may come from any of the firm's groups, and as a result, you will be working on a wide variety of assignments. The complexity of work and responsibility will develop over the course of the apprenticeship.
You will spend one day per week studying with our training provider, BPP University, where you will work towards your Law degree. Addleshaw Goddard will cover the entire tuition fee and you will also earn a salary from day one, which will increase as you progress during your training.
Upon obtaining your law degree, you will begin to prepare for the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE) part 1 and 2. Once you have successfully completed the exams, you will then become a qualified solicitor and have the opportunity to apply for newly qualified roles within Addleshaw Goddard.
