TLT LLP: TLT Insight Scheme - Spring 2026
The Aspiring Solicitors AS Access Programme (ASAP) offers eligible students a unique opportunity to gain the practical skills, tools, and techniques used daily in commercial legal practice. This bespoke three‑day coaching initiative, developed in collaboration with Akin and A&O Shearman, provides participants with hands‑on experience using real legal documents and practical exercises designed to mirror trainee-level responsibilities.
ASAP is the first trainee‑skills programme of its kind, giving students an early advantage ahead of vacation schemes and future applications. Through workshops led by lawyers and recruitment professionals, participants will enhance their written communication, build commercial awareness, and strengthen key soft skills required for professional success.
This programme is open to Aspiring Solicitors members who meet the academic and year‑of‑study criteria, have an interest in pursuing a legal career, and have not yet accepted a training contract. Sponsored by A&O Shearman and Akin - with additional input from firms such as Dechert, DWF, Freshfields, and Osborne Clarke - ASAP offers invaluable insight into the expectations and realities of life as a trainee solicitor.
