Shoosmiths has added to the growing list of law firms embracing solicitor apprenticeships, opening up four positions to begin in September this year.
The national outfit is piloting the new programme within its Birmingham hub, with a view to including more locations in the future.
New apprentices will complete a fully funded LLB and SQE over the course of six years, whilst spending four days a week in the office. They will join the firm on a salary of £20,000.
Eleanor Tanner, director of people at Shoosmiths, said: “At Shoosmiths we are committed to nurturing talent and developing skills and expertise through providing relevant vocational and professional apprenticeships. We believe that talent can come from anywhere — it doesn’t have to be through the traditional university route. We are very excited for the launch this pilot and are looking forward to meeting the first cohort in September 2024.”
