Civil Litigation Solicitor - Birmingham
TSR Legal are currently working with an established law firm who are looking to appoint a Civil Litigation Solicitor to join their growing team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor with a strong civil litigation background to take responsibility for a varied caseload and work closely with the Head of Department. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to handle matters from initial instruction through to resolution, providing commercially focused advice and achieving the best possible outcomes for clients.
The Role
You will manage a varied portfolio of contentious matters, advising clients on a range of disputes and developing appropriate strategies to progress each case. Your caseload is likely to include contractual disputes, commercial litigation and property-related matters, alongside general civil litigation.
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.
