About the Opportunity
Step into a top-flight, off-market opportunity and build your future with one of the South West’s most recognised top 100 law firms. This role offers unparalleled potential within a Legal 500 firm, boasting national reputation, high-net-worth (HNW) clients, and ambitious growth plans.
The firm values genuine flexibility and encourages autonomy, ensuring your career develops organically rather than fitting into a rigid structure. Whether you're an aspiring talent (2+ PQE) looking to work at the cutting edge of rural property and HNW client services, or a senior lawyer seeking bigger challenges and strategic direction—this role could be perfect for you.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Role
With substantial investment in its rural practice, the firm is expanding its agricultural and rural property offering and seeks an ambitious, driven lawyer to become a key player in its next chapter.
Key Responsibilities
As Agricultural Property Lawyer, you’ll:
- Advise landed estates, farming businesses, rural landowners, investors, and HNW individuals on a diverse range of property-related matters.
- Lead a relationship-driven, commercially focused workload, enabling you to grow long-term clients and establish yourself as a trusted adviser within the rural sector.
- Provide high-quality, tailored legal solutions while maintaining a focus on client satisfaction and commercial outcomes.
This is not a typical transactional role—it’s an opportunity for someone who thrives on variety, independence, and influence.
