Are you thinking about a legal apprenticeship?



Do you want to earn while you learn, work alongside some of the best minds in law, and start building a career with purpose from day one?



At Burges Salmon, we're committed to
lighting up the world of law by bringing fresh thinking, curiosity and collaboration to the challenges our clients face. As a legal apprentice, you'll play a part in that journey, working alongside talented colleagues to make a meaningful impact, and grow your skills in a supportive and inclusive environment.



Our Legal Apprenticeship Programme offers you the opportunity to qualify as a solicitor while earning a salary and gaining invaluable hands-on experience. Based in our Bristol office and delivered in partnership with BPP University, you'll complete the Level 7 Solicitor Apprenticeship over six years, the same timeframe as completing a law degree, SQE and Training Contract, while developing your career from day one.



To help you learn more about life as a legal apprentice, we're hosting both in-person and virtual open evenings during the application window. These events are aimed at students aged 14 and above, parents and carers, teachers, and careers advisers, and will provide an opportunity to discover what it's like to learn, develop and build your future with us.

During the event, you'll hear from our Emerging Talent team, gain insight into

There will also be an opportunity to ask questions and network with current apprentices and members of the team.



Whether you're already considering a career in law or just starting to explore your options, we'd love to show you how you can
grow with us, help solve challenges together, and play a part in lighting up the world of law.



We look forward to meeting you soon.
