Solicitor Apprenticeship at Trowers & Hamlins
We couldn't be more excited to expand our Solicitor Apprenticeship programme this year. The programme offers hands-on experience, expert mentorship, and a path to a law degree and qualification as a solicitor, empowering a new generation to excel within the legal profession.
Our four UK offices — Birmingham, Exeter, London and Manchester — are each offering two spots for apprentices on the programme, which means you can start your career closer to home.
The Programme
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 will complete your law degree while undertaking yearly rotations across different departments, gaining broad exposure and experience. In the final year and a half, while completing the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), you will move into six-month departmental rotations to deepen your practical knowledge and skills.
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 culture.
Eligibility and selection criteria
We look for candidates who have achieved, or who are on track to achieve, a minimum of 128 UCAS points (ABB) from their top three A-Levels or equivalent, and a minimum of 6 GCSEs with a Grade 6/B or above in English and Mathematics. We take into account mitigating circumstances and do not automatically reject candidates who do not reach this minimum criteria.
You are eligible to apply for our programme if you have either already completed your A-levels (or equivalent), or are on track to complete your A-levels (or equivalent), by summer 2026.
The key dates for the application period and the commencement of the Solicitor Apprenticeship are:
- Applications close: 20 February 2026
- Assessment centres: March 2026
- Apprenticeship starts: September 2026
