From Sixth Form to Solicitor: Virtual Open Evening – 8th February 2027
For students considering a solicitor apprenticeship, our virtual open evening is a fantastic opportunity to gain an authentic insight into life at TLT and discover whether the apprenticeship route could be right for them.
Attendees will hear directly from our Early Careers team, Training Principal and current apprentices, who will share their experiences of learning, working and qualifying through the apprenticeship pathway. We’ll cover everything from programme structure and the support available throughout the apprenticeship to practical advice on submitting a strong application.
The session will also feature interactive activities, apprenticeship myth-busting, and opportunities to ask questions and connect with colleagues from across the firm.
We recognise that choosing a post-18 pathway is a significant decision, which is why parents, guardians, carers and supporters are warmly encouraged to attend alongside prospective applicants.
Register for the virtual evening here.
