Following the defunding of the Level 7 Solicitor Apprenticeship for many learners, law firms and aspiring solicitors are now looking for a clear, practical and funded alternative route into legal qualification.

This webinar will explore how the Advanced Paralegal Apprenticeship and Chartered Legal Executive Apprenticeship can provide a strategic progression pathway for individuals who still want to build a long-term legal career, gain advanced legal skills and work towards qualification with practice rights in a chosen area of law.

This webinar will break down how these law apprenticeships can support both employers and future legal professionals in responding to the funding changes with confidence.

You will learn:

• How the Advanced Paralegal Apprenticeship and Chartered Legal Executive Apprenticeship are structured and how they compare to the Level 7 Solicitor route
• Who is eligible and how government funding can be used
• The legal knowledge, skills and behaviours developed throughout the programmes
• How these routes can support progression for aspiring solicitors and future qualified legal professionals
• How the Chartered Legal Executive Apprenticeship can lead to practice rights in a chosen specialism
• How firms can use these pathways to retain, develop and progress ambitious legal talent

Who should attend?

This webinar is ideal for law graduates, trainee solicitors affected by Level 7 funding changes, and law firms still looking for a funded way to develop future legal professionals.

Why attend?

This is more than a programme overview. It is a practical briefing for firms and individuals who need to understand their options after Level 7 defunding.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the funded routes still available, how these pathways compare, and how to secure a place on Datalaw’s next Advanced Paralegal and Chartered Legal Executive Apprenticeship cohort.
