Employment Solicitor (4+ PQE)

This specialist, highly tiered Legal 500 City employment department is looking to hire a 4+ PQE solicitor to join their thriving department.

This is a broad role covering both contentious and non-contentious employment law. You will advise employer clients on day-to-day HR issues, senior executive matters, tribunal claims and transactional/TUPE work, with real responsibility and direct client contact from day one.

The team suits someone who enjoys variety, is confident running their own matters, and wants to develop their profile through business development and client relationship building.

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.
