"My experience on the Direct Entry programme has been extremely positive. From day one, I've received support from colleagues at all levels and have been trusted with responsibility on a variety of transactions. That responsibility, combined with the opportunity to contribute to client matters, has helped me develop quickly and feel like a valued part of the team. Balancing work alongside part-time SQE study can be challenging, but the flexibility and support available at Freeths has been fantastic."
Matt Brittain

"I have and will continue to recommend the Legal Graduate Programme to others. I believe it is one of the best pathways into qualification because of the breadth of practical experience it provides. The programme also offers excellent support from experienced colleagues, alongside valuable hands-on learning. This combination of practical experience and professional development has helped me build a strong foundation for a future career in law and will continue to support my professional growth."
