Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend TLT LLP to a friend?
Yes
Why?
TLT’s apprenticeship routes are designed as proper routes to qualification, with apprentices embedded in teams and doing meaningful work alongside qualified lawyers, rather than being treated as “trainees on the side”.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to TLT LLP?
Be yourself and show genuine interest in TLT as a firm, not just the apprenticeship route. Do your research, understand TLT’s values, and be ready to explain why they matter to you. Use real examples to show your work ethic, curiosity, and willingness to learn, and don’t be afraid to talk about challenges you’ve faced and how you’ve handled them. TLT looks for people who are motivated, personable, and keen to grow long‑term, so focus on your potential as much as your achievements.
