Commercial Litigation Solicitor | 1–4 PQE | Birmingham / Nottingham | £75,000 + Bonus

I’m currently working with a leading national law firm looking to appoint a Commercial Litigation Solicitor at 1–4 PQE to join its established Midlands disputes team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their career within a strong national practice, working closely with an award-winning and highly regarded Partner, alongside an experienced Senior Associate. The team is known for being supportive, approachable and highly knowledgeable within the market.

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.
