New legal apprenticeship launched by regional law firm Wilkin Chapman

A new apprenticeship scheme is being rolled out by a leading regional law firm, offering the first step towards a legal career - without the need to go to university.

Wilkin Chapman has launched a paralegal programme, where candidates will be trained to become legal assistants, supporting the work of qualified lawyers. It is described as a frequent first step to becoming a solicitor or barrister.

An initial cohort of four will be taken on by the Grimsby-headquartered firm. It is designed for those who have recently completed their A Levels or equivalent.
