Children Panel Solicitor
A well-established, Legal 500 and Chambers UK recognised law firm is looking to strengthen its Family team with an experienced Children Panel Accredited Solicitor, FCILEx or CILEx.
This is an excellent opportunity for a Children specialist looking to take ownership of a varied caseload within a supportive and established team, with genuine scope to develop your career and build your own work.
The Role
You will manage your own caseload of family and children matters, with a particular focus on public law children work. You will have the opportunity to take cases from initial instruction through to conclusion, providing high-quality advice and representation throughout.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
