Allen & Overy is the latest international law firm to offer a non-traditional route to students aiming to enter the legal profession in the UK. A&O has launched a new apprenticeship programme for school leavers that leads to qualification as a solicitor in the U.K..
The firm will recruit an initial cohort of six solicitor apprentices in the first year who will be awarded an LLB (Hons) Law and Legal Practice by BPP University and a Solicitor Level 7 Apprenticeship on completion, as well as becoming a qualified solicitor once they pass the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE), according to the firm’s statement.
The six year apprenticeship programme will kick off in September 2022 and is open to all who are completing their A-Levels in 2022.
