Ever wondered what it’s really like to be an apprentice in a law firm?

Monday 9 February marks the start of National Apprenticeship Week 2026 and to celebrate, Miri Stickland (Head of Knowledge and co-lead of the firm’s Social Mobility Network) sits down with Solicitor Apprentices Rhea Shah and Faysal Hamzat and HR Assistant (and past apprentice) Rose Ward to share what life is really like as an apprentice at Forsters.

In this special podcast episode, they discuss:

  • Why they chose the apprenticeship route.
  • Support from family.
  • Top tips for applications and assessments.
  • Transitioning into the workplace.
