This is a great job for someone who has experience in contract litigation and enjoys helping clients navigate legal disputes. This role would suit a Solicitor, Legal Executive, or equivalent legal professional who is confident managing a caseload, providing practical legal advice, and delivering positive customer outcomes. Experience of handling consumer contract disputes and small claims litigation would be valuable.
A bit about the job:
As a Consumer Contract Litigator, you'll join our Contracts team, managing a varied caseload of consumer contract claims funded through legal expenses insurance. You'll provide clear, practical legal advice, guide clients through the claims process, and proactively progress cases to resolution while ensuring fair customer outcomes. You'll also play a key role in recovering costs, maintaining accurate case records, and supporting continuous improvement initiatives that enhance both the customer experience and the performance of the department.
We support you to shine. DLG Legal Services is a legal services business, wholly owned by Aviva plc but operating independently as a law firm that is fully regulated by the Solicitor Regulation Authority. Joining us means combining the expertise of a specialist law firm with the support and opportunities that come from being part of Aviva.
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.
