Commercial Contracts Solicitor | 3+ PQE | Birmingham

£65,000 – £75,000 + Bonus

Hybrid Working | International Law Firm

I’m currently working with a leading international law firm that is looking to appoint a Commercial Contracts Solicitor, ideally 3+ PQE, to join its established Birmingham team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Commercial Solicitor who enjoys the variety of a broad commercial practice and wants exposure to high-quality work within an international firm, while still maintaining a genuinely good work-life balance.

The role will have a strong focus on drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts, working with a varied client base across a number of different sectors.

The role

You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Draft, review and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements
  • Advise clients on general commercial, contractual and strategic matters
  • Manage your own matters with support from experienced Partners
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues across the firm’s UK and international network
  • Develop direct relationships with clients and become a trusted commercial adviser
  • Get involved in business development and wider team initiatives
  • Build towards the next stage of your career with clear progression opportunities

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.
