Legal apprenticeships are becoming an increasingly common way of breaking into the industry, providing an affordable alternative to the traditional law degree.
Law & Legal apprenticeships
At first glance, it might sound a bit crazy that you can become a legal professional through an apprenticeship. But it actually makes perfect sense. It can be a great way to throw yourself into a challenging career, like becoming a solicitor. Law degrees can be expensive, typically four years in length. With a degree apprenticeship you can gain a law degree debt free, while earning a living wage. You can focus on legal administration, become a paralegal, or qualify as a solicitor if you wish to practice. It is also possible to use an apprenticeship to become a chartered legal executive, a hybrid position between a paralegal and solicitor which focuses on a specific legal niche.
Living and working in London
The UK Capital is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city offering abundant attractions, beyond world-class employers. Home to cultural hubs such as theatres, art galleries, and Michelin-starred restaurants, London offers up endless entertainment. While London is usually associated with a pricey lifestyle, it is an economically diverse city. It is more than possible to enjoy London on a budget (or an apprenticeship wage) with indoor and outdoor markets, live music, and acres of public parkland to visit.
