Contentious Probate Solicitor

Are you a Solicitor with experience in Contentious Probate, Litigation or Private Client work looking to specialise in this growing area of law?

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Contentious Probate Solicitor (NQ–4 PQE) to join a highly regarded and expanding team. Working alongside a Legal 500-recognised Head of Department, you will handle a broad range of contentious trusts and probate matters while developing your expertise in this specialist field.

The role can be based in either Huddersfield or York, with hybrid working available. Full-time is preferred, although part-time applicants (minimum 30 hours per week) will also be considered.

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.
