Chattertons Announces Seven New Apprentice Solicitors

Chattertons is delighted to announce the appointment of seven new Apprentice Solicitors, following the success of January’s launch of our Solicitor Apprenticeship Programme. This initiative offers an alternative route to qualification, combining practical legal experience with academic learning.

The new apprenticeships will begin in September 2025 and run alongside the apprentices’ existing job roles. The 30-month programme includes five legal practice modules studied over the first 20 months. The final stages of the apprenticeship focus on professional practice skills coursework and preparation for the End Point Assessment (SQE1 and SQE2).

Lydia Pycroft, COO at Chattertons, commented:

“Following our internal recruitment process, I’m sure you will all join us in congratulating our new cohort of apprentices. The apprenticeship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience while working towards qualification as a solicitor.”
