Commercial Litigation Solicitor | 2–6 PQE | Nottingham | £60,000–£70,000 + Bonus
I’m currently working with a leading national law firm looking to appoint a Commercial Litigation Solicitor at 2–6 PQE to join its established Nottingham team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their career within a strong national disputes practice, working alongside an award-winning and highly regarded Partner who is known for being supportive, approachable and extremely knowledgeable within the market.
The role will offer exposure to a broad range of high-quality commercial disputes, with a particular focus on complex commercial contract disputes, alongside the opportunity to work with an impressive national client base.
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.
