April King is a thriving and innovative law firm with 19 offices across the UK.

We offer Qualifying Employment and full funding to initially achieve Fellow status with CILEx with a view to then qualifying as a solicitor following completion of our in-house 8 day Professional Skills Course.

Having a law degree and LPC is a minimum requirement to be part of our Private Client team but additionally you will understand that family life is dynamic and complicated. We look for individuals who understand that knowing the law is only part of being a top professional. A good communicator, you will be keen to learn from some of the best legal professionals and become a specialist rather than a generalist. We offer full in-house training and ongoing development.

In other words we will give you the autonomy and responsibility to build strong and meaningful professional relationships with our valued clients. A full driver’s license and car is required.
