Linklaters has launched a solicitor apprenticeship programme, offering an alternative route to qualification at the magic circle firm.

The firm will welcome up to six solicitor apprentices in London in September 2023, and aims to offer an affordable way to qualify. The six-year programme will provide on-the-job training, with the apprentices spending 20% of their time undertaking law degree studies for the first four years. In years five and six, the apprentices will join the trainee solicitor cohort, and will also complete the solicitor’s qualification examination (SQE).

Applications are open to school leavers nationwide, and will close on 13 March 2023.

Paul Lewis, firmwide managing partner at Linklaters, said: ‘The traditional route to a career in law can be out of reach of many talented students from low socio-economic backgrounds. We will facilitate entry to the legal profession.’
