The Trailblazer Solicitor Apprenticeship is an award-winning Articled  Route to Qualification program that offers aspiring solicitors an  alternative path into the legal profession. 

It’s 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 18  months developing an understanding of how the firm operates in  business services departments such as Risk and Compliance, the  Information Centre and Legal Innovation. At that point, you’ll be  transferred into one of our legal practices. 

Details of the Program 

The Trailblazer Solicitor Apprenticeship is open to school leavers who  wish to pursue an alternative route to qualification as a solicitor rather  than attending a full-time university course. It combines practical  experience in the workplace with a formal degree and postgraduate  study. You’ll go to work and receive a full-time salary and get valuable,  real-life experience in your chosen field while you earn a degree at the  same time. 

As an apprentice, you will gain the professional solicitor qualification that  will demonstrate your commercial legal ability, client service experience,  ethical behaviour and commitment to lifelong learning and development.  

Studying under BPP University Law School tutors, you will develop your  teamwork, presenting and time-management skills and earn an LLB  (Hons) Legal Practice qualification.
