9 January 2026

At O’Reilly Stewart, we are committed to supporting and developing the next generation of legal professionals.  Our Trainee Solicitor Programme offers an excellent opportunity for ambitious graduates to gain practical experience, professional qualifications, and the foundation for a successful career in law.

The two-year apprenticeship is divided between practical training at O’Reilly Stewart and academic study at the Institute of Professional Legal Studies (IPLS). This structure ensures that trainees benefit from both the academic and practical elements of legal training, combining real-world experience with formal learning.

During your training, you will gain hands-on experience across a variety of legal practice areas, including:

  • Personal Injury
  • Healthcare
  • Employment
  • Corporate & Commercial
  • Property
  • Wills and Probate
  • Construction Litigation
  • Licensing

You will work closely with experienced solicitors and partners, contributing to live client matters and developing your technical, and client-handling skills. Our trainees are given meaningful responsibility early on, supported every step of the way through mentorship, regular feedback, and tailored professional development.

At O’Reilly Stewart, we pride ourselves on offering a friendly, collaborative, and forward-thinking working environment where your potential can thrive.

Join us and take the first step toward qualification as a solicitor with O’Reilly Stewart, where your future in law begins.
