Lawyerly
Lawyerly is a commercial law firm providing subscription and fixed-fee legal services to small and medium-sized businesses. Our clients treat us as their in-house legal team, and we act for them across the full range of their commercial needs. We do not bill by the hour, so there are no timesheets and no billable-hour targets.
We are looking for a solicitor with sound judgement, a practical approach and an interest in how legal services are delivered. You will run your own client matters, build lasting client relationships and work closely with a small team.
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.
