2026 Level 3 Paralegal Apprenticeship Programme

With 48,000 colleagues in over 140 countries, we help organisations make forward-thinking choices about their people, their investments and the risks they face. Joining our Global Contracting Team within our Legal Team, you’ll be part of our impact right from the start.

Our Legal Team advises WTW on legal matters ranging from transactions and contract negotiations to managing litigation risks and handling government and internal investigations.

At WTW, we believe difference makes us stronger. We want our workforce to reflect the different and varied markets we operate in and to build a culture of inclusivity that makes colleagues feel welcome, valued and empowered to bring their whole selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive work environment throughout our organisation. We embrace all types of diversity.
