               Apprenticeship Overview:
               The Ashurst solicitor apprenticeship is an exciting alternative route to qualification as a solicitor in England & Wales outside of our training contract.
               The programme is designed to help school leavers kick-start their career as a solicitor with a structured learning programme. Alongside studying part-time with The University of Law one day a week, you will gain hands-on experience of a wide range of legal work. This qualification cleverly combines the legal knowledge required for a new entrant into the legal profession with the more technical demands expected of a junior lawyer.
               The programme is structured around the level 7 solicitor apprenticeship, which includes an LLB (Hons) degree and solicitors qualifying exams. It takes approximately six years to complete and all study fees will be funded by the firm.
               We will invest the time and resources into ensuring our apprentices are fully equipped with the tools for success in the legal sector. In return, we expect commitment, motivation and a genuine interest in helping our clients. Apprentices will be allocated a supervisor to provide them with quality training and opportunities to develop, as well as feedback and guidance.
