Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll manage your own caseload of contentious probate matters with appropriate supervision while assisting senior colleagues on more complex, high-value disputes.

This position would suit a qualified Solicitor with up to four years' PQE who has gained experience in contentious probate, litigation, or private client work and is keen to develop specialist expertise in contentious trusts and estates. Strong communication skills, a proactive approach, and a genuine interest in this area of law are essential.
