Employment Law Solicitor

Liverpool / Manchester | Hybrid Working

On behalf of our client, a well-regarded and established law firm with offices in Liverpool and Manchester, we are recruiting for an Employment Law Solicitor to join their growing team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Newly Qualified solicitor up to 3 years PQE who is looking to develop their career within a supportive, progressive firm known for its strong culture and high-quality legal work.

The successful candidate will manage their own caseload of employment law matters, acting primarily on behalf of claimants. The role offers a broad range of contentious employment work, with the opportunity to further develop advocacy and litigation skills.

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.
