HFW Launches Six-Year Solicitor Apprentice Programme

Participants on the six-year programme will work as a paid employee in HFW’s London office while studying for a Law Degree (LLB) and a Master of Law (LLM), before sitting the Solicitors Qualifying Examination, with all education and exam costs covered by the firm.

During the final two years of the apprenticeship, participants will join HFW’s existing Training Contract programme.

Jeremy Shebson, Managing Partner, HFW:

“We still have work to do in the legal sector to make the profession more accessible for talented individuals from all backgrounds. Our apprenticeship programme is designed to provide another option for students looking to pursue a career in the law, and will enable participants to complete their legal education while also receiving first-rate training and a salary, and without having to worry about the cost of studying and exams. It also means that we can support their development from an earlier stage in their career, and will help us continue to create a diverse and inclusive firm in which everyone can thrive.”

HFW’s first Solicitor Apprentices will start in September 2024. Applications are now open.
