National Apprenticeship Week is an ideal opportunity to recognise the talent, commitment, and drive shown by apprentices across the legal profession. At BHP Law, we are proud to celebrate our own Solicitor Apprentice, Ellie Phillips, whose recent feature with the Law Society offers a candid and inspiring insight into her journey so far.

Ellie’s reflections highlight the determination, resilience, and ambition that define the apprenticeship route. Her story demonstrates the real value apprenticeships bring to the legal sector - opening doors for future lawyers, broadening access to the profession, and showcasing the strength of learning through hands‑on experience.

A huge well done to Ellie for sharing her experience and for representing BHP Law during National Apprenticeship Week 2026.
