Mayer Brow offer the Trailblazer Solicitor Apprenticeship, which offers you the opportunity to qualify by combining work and part-time study over a period of six years.

The legal apprenticeship is a great alternative for those wishing to pursue a career in the legal profession, without the huge financial burden incurred by fees and student loans.

You join the firm’s London office and spend the first 12 months in Business Services departments (such as Risk and Compliance and the Information Centre). Here, you gain an understanding of how the firm operates before being transferred into one of the legal practices. By the end of the programme, you will have the same level of qualification as trainee solicitors who qualify through the traditional route.

You will study part time with BPP – both online and face to face.
