Join a Leading Traditional Welsh Law Firm
Are you an experienced Corporate or Commercial Lawyer looking for greater flexibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to maximise your earnings?
A well-established, traditional Welsh law firm is expanding its Consultant Lawyer network and is seeking ambitious Corporate/Commercial Lawyers to join the team across Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, or Bristol. Unlike consultancy-only legal businesses, this is a long-established full-service law firm with an excellent reputation, established client base, and strong referral network. Consultants become part of the firm while enjoying the flexibility of working on a self-employed basis.
The Opportunity
Working on a consultant basis, you will receive instructions from the firm on a case-by-case basis, allowing you to choose the work that suits your expertise and availability. You'll benefit from the backing, reputation, and infrastructure of an established law firm while maintaining complete flexibility over your workload.
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.
