Early Careers opportunities
Forsters will shortly be recruiting four solicitor apprentices who will begin their apprenticeship in September 2025.
Apprentices will spend the first two years in one seat, allowing them to settle in and become acquainted with legal work.
For the third and fourth year they will embark on an annual rotation across some of the firm’s key practice areas. Likely seats for apprentices include construction, commercial real estate, property litigation, and residential property.
During the final two years, apprentices will join trainees in rotating six times across the firm’s different practice areas, providing opportunity to explore various areas of law. The final seat will be their selected qualifying seat.
Forsters offers a variety of firm socials and clubs that apprentices can participate in, such as football, netball, running and book club. Apprentices can also join the Forsters diversity and inclusion and charity networks, which organise events throughout the year. The firm also runs a lunch club that helps feed those in need at a local church on Thursdays. Apprentices can also participate in regular firm-wide and team gatherings.
