As one of the Best Big Companies to Work For, we have a rich history of loving our customers and looking after our teams.

We understand that success is achieved through our people, and we are searching for a committed and passionate Commercial Solicitor to join our growing business.

Purpose of the Role:

As part of our dynamic team at Iceland, you'll provide essential legal support to our company and its wider group. This is a fast-paced role in a company with international and multi-sectoral reach, perfect for a confident solicitor who can think on their feet and communicate effectively.

You'll experience the variety and quality of work befitting of a large firm in private practice! Not only will you be involved in reviewing and drafting a wide range of commercial agreements, including framework agreements, IT agreements and trademark licences, but the team plays an integral role in the many critical and innovative business projects across the group, from start-ups to key commercial partnerships and joint ventures. You will also advise in respect of marketing materials, regulatory compliance, data protection, disputes and a whole host of other ad hoc legal queries.

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.
