Nottinghamshire or Lincolnshire | Hybrid Working

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Construction Solicitor or Senior Litigator looking to develop their career within a growing and supportive team.

This role is open to candidates with 8+ years' PQE who have experience in construction law or a strong litigation background and are interested in retraining into construction. Full support and mentoring will be provided for the right individual with transferable skills.

You'll be joining a well-established and collaborative team, working on a varied caseload while playing a key role in the continued growth and development of the department. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to step into a senior position with genuine long-term career prospects.

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.
