Legal Apprenticeship in person open evening - Bristol 2026

Job description

Are you thinking about a legal apprenticeship?

Do you want to earn while you learn, gain hands-on experience from day one, and start building a rewarding career with one of the UK's leading independent law firms?
At Burges Salmon, we believe the best solutions come from curious minds working together. As a legal apprentice, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful work, help solve complex challenges and develop a successful career.
Our Legal Apprenticeship Programme offers you the opportunity to qualify as a solicitor while earning a salary and gaining invaluable practical 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.

We're hosting both in-person and virtual open evenings during the application window to give you an insight into our legal apprenticeship programme. Whether you're a student aged 14 or over, a parent or carer, teacher, or careers adviser, we'd love to welcome you and show you how you can grow with us and help solve tomorrow's challenges together.
