Salaries, locations, insider insights and more!
Legal Cheek has unveiled its new 2027 Solicitor Apprenticeship Most List, giving aspiring apprentices an insider look at life inside over 40 of the UK’s leading law firms. Check it out here!
Trying to decide where to kick-start your legal career? From Magic Circle heavyweights and leading US firms to UK-based global players, top national firms and specialist outfits, Legal Cheek’s refreshed guide is designed to help school leavers find the firm and apprenticeship programme that best suits them.
At the heart of the Solicitor Apprenticeship Most List is Legal Cheek’s interactive comparison tool, allowing sixth formers and school leavers to compare firms across some of the key factors likely to shape their decision. These include apprenticeship numbers, salaries and the offices where programmes are offered.
But choosing the right firm is about much more than the headline figures. Each profile also features an exclusive Legal Cheek View, drawing on insights from current apprentices to give prospective applicants a clearer picture of what life on the programme is really like.
Alongside practical information on pay, programme structure and study support, the Solicitor Apprenticeship Most List digs into how firms balance on-the-job training with LLB and SQE studies, what their office culture is like and what apprentices can expect from the wider experience.
Aspiring apprentices can also use the guide to keep track of all-important application deadlines, insight days and recruitment events, making it a useful starting point for researching firms, narrowing down options and planning applications.
