Apprenticeships with our Law Firm.

Apprentices learn their skills on-the-job whilst earning a salary and completing on-the-job training, combined with college assignments.

We offer a variety of apprenticeships, ranging from paralegals and business administration to HR and accounts.

We do not recruit for the degree apprenticeship. We prefer to recruit for the paralegal apprenticeship and then use the SQE route to qualification.

Level 7 Solicitor apprenticeships may be available to applicants for training contracts in limited circumstances where government funding is available. In most cases applicants would have to be aged 21 or under at the time they start the apprenticeship, which means that most applicants will not qualify.

Apprenticeship vacancies will be advertised on our careers page here

Apprenticeship Podcast

 

In this episode of our podcast The Legal Lounge, Emma Harrison chats with Erin Payne (who has since left the firm) and Cameron Petch, who at the time were undertaking apprenticeships, asking what made them choose the apprenticeship route into law, what the advantages are, and their career aspirations.


Over the course of my apprenticeship at Lanyon Bowdler, the whole team were extremely supportive in providing me with opportunities and resources. I completed the Business Administration apprenticeship in August 2024. In this time I was able to develop my administrative knowledge and skills, and I’m excited to progress my career with the firm.

- Oliwia Piegza, Legal Administration Assistant, Telford
