Overview
Graduate Apprenticeship 2026 – Property/Energy/Construction
The 30-month training programme will involve working alongside our experienced lawyers in one of our legal teams, whilst studying with BPP one day per week. You will have a dedicated supervisor at Kennedys, plus a tutor and skills coach at BPP to ensure that you have all the support you need at work and with your studies.
Over the course of the programme, you will gain Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) by working alongside experienced legal professionals on real cases, whilst studying towards a Level 6 CILEX qualification, developing your legal knowledge and skills. You will also prepare for and complete the SQE, paving the way to becoming a qualified solicitor.
This route provides an alternative to the traditional rotational training contract and allows you to earn while you learn, building a solid foundation for a successful legal career. Graduates looking to start the programme must have completed a law degree or a non-law degree and a law conversion course, prior to starting with Kennedys. Kennedys will fully fund your training during the programme.
