Programme Structure

Years 1–2: Foundation Stage (Junior Paralegal to Paralegal Level)

Apprentices begin at Junior Paralegal level, undertaking two 12-month rotations across different legal teams.

Academic study mirrors the early years of a traditional law degree, covering foundational law and practice including public law, contract law, tort law and dispute resolution, legal research, and professional practice skills.

Work will vary by team but typically includes legal admin, research tasks, and early exposure to client matters.

Years 3–4: Development Stage (Paralegal to Senior Paralegal Level)

Apprentices continue with two further 12-month rotations, taking on more complex legal work.

Academic study covers further areas of law and practice such as criminal law, land law, company law and trusts law and coaching and professional practice skills.

Ongoing supervision and mentoring help apprentices refine their legal and commercial skills.

Years 5–6: Trainee Solicitor Stage

Apprentices join the Trainee Solicitor cohort and complete four 6-month seat rotations.

During this time, they will prepare for and undertake the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE).

Work becomes increasingly aligned with that of a newly qualified solicitor, with greater responsibility and client exposure.
