Employment Lawyer - Senior Associate
London / Hybrid
5+ PQE
A top-ranked London Employment team is looking for a Senior Associate to join a well-established, client-focused practice covering both contentious and advisory work.
This is a broad and genuinely varied role, split between employer-side advisory and litigation work. You'll be involved in everything from day-to-day HR risk and policy advice through to running Tribunal claims, senior exits, and complex, sensitive negotiations, alongside partners who will invest properly in your development.
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.

You'll advise a strong roster of corporate and institutional clients on Tribunal litigation, senior exits, settlement negotiations, and day-to-day employment risk, with real client contact from the outset and increasing autonomy as you progress.
We're looking for someone with:
- Solid employer-side employment experience, both contentious and non-contentious
- Tribunal litigation experience; some High Court exposure would be an advantage
- Experience advising on exits, settlement agreements, and senior-level negotiations
- A commercial, client-first mindset and genuine appetite for responsibility
- Strong communication skills and confidence building relationships with clients and colleagues alike
