Competition/Antitrust Litigation Senior Associate

We are working with a specialist litigation practice looking to appoint a Competition/Antitrust Litigation Senior Associate to join its London team. This is a strong opportunity for a solicitor with 5+ PQE and a solid background in competition litigation who is looking to take on substantial responsibility across complex, high-value disputes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing and progressing a caseload of complex competition and antitrust litigation matters.
  • Advising on competition law issues arising in contentious matters, including strategy and case preparation.
  • Taking responsibility for key aspects of proceedings, from initial assessment through to resolution.
  • Working closely with senior lawyers and colleagues across the wider litigation practice.
  • Supporting the development of junior team members and contributing to the wider practice.

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.
