Description
Do you want to join an award-winning law firm and take the next step in your career?
We’re looking for an experienced commercial property solicitor with ideally at least 2 years PQE to join our Property Team.
This is a great opportunity for an enthusiastic and proactive commercial property lawyer to develop skills and knowledge in a busy environment, providing a good range of high-quality commercial property work. You’ll be part of a friendly, down-to-earth team and enjoy a healthy work-life balance with opportunities for hybrid working.
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.
