The Role

We are delighted to offer an exciting opportunity for a Commercial Property Lawyer (qualified Solicitor or CILEx) to join our successful and growing team based in our Marks Tey (Colchester) office.

This role is ideal for an ambitious and commercially minded individual looking to develop their career within a supportive regional practice, handling a varied and high-quality caseload including sales, acquisitions, refinancing, easements, and non-contentious landlord and tenant matters.

You will join a well-established team of six specialist fee earners supported by four experienced secretaries, with access to ongoing mentoring, professional development, and a clear pathway for career progression.

This is an excellent opportunity to further establish your career as a specialist in Commercial Property within a collaborative and friendly environment.

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.
