We offer competitive trainee and NQ salaries, and we have excellent retention rates on qualification.Does Wrigleys provide funding?If you are entering the profession through the SQE route, we will require you to do up to the full two years’ QWE with us, and to attend an SQE preparatory course at a training provider of our choice. &nbsp;We expect this to be a one-year full time Master’s course. &nbsp;Subject to agreeing the detailed terms with you, Wrigleys will pay the cost of the SQE preparatory course and the cost of the SQE exams. &nbsp;If you are looking to pursue the legal apprenticeship route, please apply and we can discuss funding.We do not provide any funding for the GDL or LPC.Important Dates<ul><li>Application deadline: 31 July 2025</li><li>Interviews: August 2025 (video and in-person at our Leeds office)</li><li>Offers made shortly after interviews have taken place</li></ul>
