Dispute Resolution Solicitor

We're currently working with a growing law firm that is looking to recruit a Civil & Commercial Litigation Solicitor to join its expanding dispute resolution team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor with up to 6 years' PQE to take ownership of their own caseload while also working alongside experienced colleagues on more complex and higher-value litigation matters. The successful candidate will enjoy a varied workload, strong levels of responsibility, and genuine opportunities for career progression.
Role Description
The role will involve:
- Managing a broad caseload of civil and commercial litigation matters
- Advising clients on strategy, risk, and dispute resolution options
- Drafting pleadings, witness statements, and court documentation
- Attending hearings, mediations, and settlement negotiations
- Building and maintaining strong client relationships
- Supporting business development and networking activities
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.
