HFW

We offer you the opportunity to develop to your full potential through a structured, six-year solicitor apprenticeship programme. You will have the chance to learn and work at the same time, building on the knowledge gained in your studies through having ‘hands on’ experience in a global, collaborative and entrepreneurial environment.

During the programme, you will work towards achieving a law degree in Legal Practice and Skills (LLB) at the University of Law in London and then, in the final two years, you will work towards passing the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE), opening the door for you to become a fully qualified solicitor in the United Kingdom.

You will be supported before the programme starts with a comprehensive onboarding and induction schedule. During the programme, you will have a dedicated supervisor, skills coach, and points of contact in the Early Careers team.

In the first two years of the programme, you will gain a deeper understanding of how law firms operate by spending time in some of our business services teams. From year three, you will start joining some legal seats. From year five of the programme, you will merge on to our Training Contract programme and will have the chance to experience an international secondment.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with us at EarlyCareers@hfw.com.

Applications for our 2024 Solicitor Apprenticeship are now open. They close on 29 February 2024.
