About Us
Linkilaw Solicitors is a London-based law firm with a global outlook, specialising in cross-border dispute resolution and complex commercial matters. We act for high-net-worth individuals, family offices, entrepreneurs, and international businesses in high-value, multi-jurisdictional cases.
We know that disputes are not only about the legal claim. They often touch on reputations, personal relationships, and strategic priorities. Our work is about protecting what matters most to our clients, with clarity, creativity, and tenacity.
Our culture values independence, initiative, and authentic collaboration. We are a close-knit team that takes pride in being both excellent and human in everything we do.
The Role
We are looking for a full-time Dispute Resolution Solicitor (2+ PQE) to join our team. Russian and/or Ukrainian language skills are highly desirable, as many of our cases involve clients or counterparties from Eastern Europe.
You will work across a range of commercial disputes, sometimes leading on cases and at other times contributing as part of a larger team. The role is hands-on and client-facing, with real opportunities to contribute to the firm’s growth and impact.
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.
