JOB TITLE: Data Protection Solicitor

The Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Data Protection Solicitor to join a nationally recognised team advising clients on a broad range of contentious and advisory data protection matters.

You will work closely with clients on complex and often sensitive issues relating to GDPR compliance, Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), Freedom of Information requests, data breaches, regulatory investigations and information governance matters. The role will also involve advising on third:party data requests, supporting responses to ICO investigations, assisting with tribunal proceedings and advising organisations on the handling of personal data within internal processes and investigations.

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.
