What does a career in law involve? What’s the difference between a barrister and a solicitor? What would I do day to day? Am I good enough? Should I go to university or do an apprenticeship? Who can I talk to?  Have you asked yourself some or all of these questions? If so, then our Unlocked Programme is right for you. This innovative programme is aimed at students who have academic potential and an interest in law, but who may believe that a legal career is out of their reach. We're here to prove that it isn't.  It is aimed at state school students in their first year of A-Levels, with mainly GCSE 9 - 6/A* - B grades, little or no family history of higher education and a genuine interest in law - and lots of enthusiasm.  You see, we're passionate about opening up legal careers to the best and brightest young minds - especially students, like you, who may not share the typical background of most legal professionals.  You attend a state school, for example. You may be the very first person in your family destined to go to university. You could come from a disadvantaged community.  Over the course of three days spent at one of our offices, you will engage in a range of different activities to help you think about the actions you need to take to get to where you want to be in your career, both in the short term and the long term.  The programme will:  • Dispel myths about what it's like to work in a major law firm.  • Give you the chance to interact with current apprentices, trainees, partners, clients and barristers.  • Explore the benefits of setting ambitious but achievable goals.  • Offer advice on different ways of entering a firm.  • Support you with one-to-one coaching sessions.  • Help you develop non-academic strengths such as communication skills.  In short, Eversheds Sutherland Unlocked will actively engage you, inform you and inspire you to start your journey into law, whichever route you decide to take.  It's informative. It's interesting. It's useful. And, most importantly, it's fun. So why not get some brilliant experience and explore what a law career looks like from the inside out?  This programme will run on the following dates in the locations listed below:  Birmingham – 6 – 8 April 2020 Cardiff – 18 – 20 February 2020 Leeds – 7 – 9 April 2020 London – 14 – 16 April 2020 Manchester – 15 – 17 April 2020 Newcastle – 18 – 20 February 2020 Nottingham – 18 – 20 February 2020  Eversheds Sutherland Unlocked is aimed at state school students in their first year of A-Levels, with mainly GCSE 9-6/A* or B grades, little or no family history of higher education and a genuine interest in law - and lots of enthusiasm.  At Eversheds Sutherland, we believe that innovation comes from a culture of genuine equality and diversity and we are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments individuals may require.  As part of the application form, you will be required to answer three strengths-based questions of 300 words each. Please ensure that you read through the Candidate Strengths Briefing beforehand via the link below.

Each of our Apprentices has their own story and all come from different backgrounds but they all share one thing in common; they've loved their apprenticeship with us.  And why wouldn’t they?  They are part of an apprenticeship programme which won regional and national awards in 2016 and 2017!  They receive unparalleled support, work with excellent lawyers in an innovative team of Paralegals and are offered high quality legal work.  We were one of the first law firms to introduce the Paralegal Apprenticeship so we've learned what really works. Why are we recruiting? Our first four cohorts have successfully completed their apprenticeships and been promoted into our innovative Paralegal team to continue developing their legal careers. After a positive first year, Chloe and Ben have moved into their second year and our very newest cohort, Chloe & Abby are settling in well since starting their Paralegal Apprenticeship just this September.  They're a close bunch who support each other and enjoy mixing not just in work but outside too.  So it's easy to see why we're looking forward to welcoming a new cohort of Paralegal Apprentices to join us in September 2020 and that's where you come in. So what makes it so great to work here? Firstly, we're award winning.  We've received recognition for our apprenticeship programme in the form of two awards reassuring you that the quality of support you'll receive here is second to none.  Secondly, we've worked hard and continue to work hard, to create an open culture that sets us apart from other firms.  Our culture gives us much more of a human feel, emphasising that we're more than just suits!  We like and make time for each other enabling us to establish professional relationships that often become lasting friendships. There are lots of extra-curricular activities to get involved in too; perhaps you're into charity fund raising, we love to see people keen to get involved with our responsible business strategy, so much so we'll even give you two days per year on us to get involved. Maybe organising social events or being part of a sports team is more your thing? There really is something for everyone. And that's not all, alongside a competitive salary of £16,380 you'll receive the same flexible benefits package so you can pick and choose between the benefits that matter most to you. What will you actually be doing? You'll be supporting a high performing team of Paralegals, called the Legal Solutions Centre, in servicing our legal teams based across all of our 8 UK locations.  Concerned you may just be doing the admin?  Don't be!  You'll be expected to do all that our Paralegals do but with added supervision and guidance at the right pace for you.  You'll be allocated a Supervisor, who will help you to keep on track with your studies and a mentor, an experienced Paralegal within your team dedicated to you to learn from.  You'll experience a broad variety of quality legal training, with exposure to household named clients and cutting edge work, which will help shape the direction of your legal career whether that is as a Solicitor one day or into another area of the firm. So you're interested but still have some questions? This all sounds great but it's a big decision and you still have reservations, how can you be sure this is not just a cleverly worded advert but actually based on fact?  If you want a quick chat with me before you apply, I'd love to hear from you.  My name is Kita Watkins and you can reach me on 0117 989 6611.
