At Lyons Bowe, we’re committed to creating opportunities for people at every stage of their career. That’s why we work in partnership with Damar Training to deliver Administration Assistant Apprenticeships, providing individuals with the skills and experience needed to begin their journey within the legal profession.
Learning Through Real Experience
An Apprenticeship offers far more than a qualification. It allows individuals to become part of a professional team from day one, developing practical skills and knowledge while contributing to the day-to-day running of an innovative law firm.
Working alongside experienced colleagues, apprentices gain first-hand experience of how legal services are delivered, building confidence within the organisation, digital systems, teamwork and time management. These are essential skills that support every area of legal practice and provide a solid platform for future career progression.
A Structured Route Into the Legal Profession
The Business Administration (Legal Pathway) Apprenticeship is designed for people aged 16 to 24 who are beginning their career or entering the workplace for the first time. Over a period of approximately 12-18 months, apprentices combine workplace learning with structured coaching and professional development, leading to a nationally recognised Level 3 qualification.
The programme is delivered through a blend of one-to-one coaching, online learning resources, group sessions and regular progress reviews. Every stage of the apprenticeship is designed to ensure learning can be applied directly within the workplace, helping apprentices develop both professionally and personally.
More Than an Apprenticeship
As apprentices gain experience and confidence, there are opportunities to explore further professional qualification routes, including CLC or CILEX CPQ pathways, depending on their career aspirations and chosen area of law.
This structured approach allows individuals to build their careers step by step while continuing to gain valuable experience within the firm.
Investing in Future Talent
At Lyons Bowe, we believe some of the strongest legal professionals are developed from within. By investing in apprenticeships and recognised qualification pathways, we’re helping people build long-term careers rather than simply filling vacancies.
Our partnership with Damar Training reflects our commitment to Learning & Development and our belief that every individual should have the opportunity to progress and achieve their potential. Together, we’re creating a clear pathway into the legal profession for the next generation of legal professionals: The Lyons Bowe Way.
Whether you’re leaving school, changing direction, or looking for your first opportunity within the legal sector, an apprenticeship can be the first step towards a rewarding career at Lyons Bowe.
