Financial support we offer
SPARK: Graduate Development Programme
We support all of our future trainees financially to complete their studies. If you are offered a Training Contract with us, we will sponsor you to complete the SQE exams through the University of Law and you will receive a £7,000 bursary whilst studying the SQE 1&2. We also sponsor the completion of the PGDL (if applicable). We also offer a £5,000 bursary whilst studying for your PGDL.
At Michelmores, we’re serious about supporting early career development. Spark is our structured programme for Trainee Solicitors and Graduate Solicitor Apprentices, designed to build the skills and confidence needed to succeed in a legal career. From day one, Spark offers a tailored induction and a seat-by-seat training plan for Graduates. You’ll take part in a wide range of development sessions, covering topics such as legal writing, advocacy, and personal branding. Many of these are delivered by our own lawyers, giving you practical insights from those already doing the job. The programme is run by our Learning & Development team in partnership with Early Careers.
Eligibility criteria for the training contract & Vacation Scheme: • Currently studying for, or have achieved, a minimum 2:2 in any discipline. • You need to be able to start your Training Contract within two years of application. • Law graduates must complete their SQE by the March before starting their training contract in the September. • If you have a non-law degree, you must complete the PGDL before beginning the SQE. We do not support candidates undertaking the SQE without first completing the PGDL. • If you have completed the LPC, you must pass SQE2 before starting with us. • Must have the right to work in the UK without restrictions.
Eligibility criteria for the Graduate Solicitor Apprenticeship: • Completed a law degree with a minimum 2:2. • Graduated within the last 3 years and have not yet started or completed the LPC or SQE qualification. • Completed a PGDL if you have a non-law degree. • Must be able to start the apprenticeship in February. • Have the right to work in the UK without restrictions.
• Do you need to work and earn a salary whilst studying for the SQE? • Do you prefer to focus solely on studying or putting knowledge into practice right away? • Do you know what practice areas you’re more interested in? • Have you completed a law degree or the PGDL (if applicable)? • Which route allows you to qualify sooner and offers the best learning experience? • Will you be able to balance working and studying at the same time? Is this how you learn best? Which route is right for me? Questions you might ask yourself
