Job description
Launch into Law is our solicitor apprenticeship programme. It’s for bright, determined and confident school leavers who want to start their career at a leading global law firm without having to go to university.
- Legal Cheek’s Sixth Formers Firm of Choice 2025 award
- Six years of work, study, learning and support
- Starting salary of £32,000, £1,000 set-up bonus, and tuition fees paid
Launch into Law is a degree apprenticeship (Level 7) that provides a mix of on-the-job learning and formal study. Over six years as a solicitor apprentice, you’ll earn a salary while studying and get all the experience you need to make your mark as a lawyer at our Firm.
Setting you up for success
Our apprentices will start their careers with a six-month seat in a legal-adjacent business services team, alongside an extensive induction programme. This is designed to give you a thorough understanding of how law firms operate, and to introduce you to office life before arriving in your first practice group.
Rotating through multiple practice groups, you will get a hands-on understanding of what we do for our clients around the world and how we do it. You’ll be part of our friendly teams from day one, working side-by-side with our lawyers on real client work.
When it comes to your studies, we know that people have different learning styles, and we want our apprentices to excel in their exams. In addition to the standard day release throughout your solicitor apprenticeship, you’ll get an extended period of paid full-time study leave to help you best prepare for SQE1.
Support at every step
We’ll support you at every step to develop the professional and personal skills that will help you succeed. We know that the world of commercial law will be new to you, so we have built you a first-class support system. You’ll have a buddy, supervisor, partner, mentor and coaching opportunities to help you navigate, enjoy and thrive in your new career.
We’ve developed a training and development programme across the six-year solicitor apprentice journey, so your on-the-job and classroom learning will be complemented with tailored training and skills sessions. Expect to build a fantastic network of friends and colleagues along the way, and to enjoy the social side of working at White & Case too.
You’ll graduate ready to start your career as a newly qualified associate, with unbeatable experience of working as a commercial lawyer in the City of London.
Who we’re looking for
We look for school-age students/leavers in year 13 or above with AAB at A Level (or equivalent) and 7 GCSEs at 6 or above, including maths and English.
