JOB REF:
The Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Barrister to join a highly regarded national law firm's growing Employment practice. You will represent clients in Employment Tribunal proceedings, conducting advocacy at both preliminary and final hearings while advising on a broad range of contentious employment law matters. Working alongside an established Employment team, you will act for an impressive client base including major commercial organisations, healthcare providers, educational institutions, and public sector bodies. This is an excellent opportunity to play a key role in the continued development of the firm's advocacy offering while enjoying significant client contact and responsibility from the outset.
The Candidate
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.
