Legal Cheek’s Solicitor Apprenticeship Most List: refreshed for 2026
Legal Cheek has unveiled its new 2026 Solicitor Apprenticeship Most List, offering aspiring apprentices an unrivalled look at life inside 40 of the UK’s leading law firms. Check it out!
From Magic Circle heavyweights and UK-based global players to top national and specialist outfits, the refreshed guide for the 2026 recruitment year provides a comprehensive snapshot of solicitor apprenticeships across the City and beyond.
The interactive tool allows sixth formers and school leavers to compare on key factors such as apprenticeship numbers, salary and office locations where apprenticeships are offered. Each profile also comes complete with the exclusive Legal Cheek View — featuring insights from current apprentices to give school-leavers an authentic overview of the apprentice experience.
Alongside practical information on pay, structure and study support, the Solicitor Apprenticeship Most List covers how firms manage LLB and SQE studies, what office culture looks like, and crucial dates for applications, insight days, and recruitment events.
The new guide complements Legal Cheek’s recently updated 2026 Firms Most List, designed for graduates eyeing training contracts, and cements Legal Cheek as the go-to resource for anyone exploring the solicitor career pathway.
