Your new company

A well-known national consulting organisation, providing its multi-industry clients with a broad range of legal, tax and audit services. The business operates on a partnership model and regularly features in awards for being a fantastic place to work. It has multiple office locations across the UK. Culturally, the organisation offers hybrid working and a fantastic, fit-for-purpose benefits package.

Your new role

An employment lawyer position reporting to the Head of Employment Law, as part of an immediate team of four. Working three days in the office within a hybrid set up, you will advise a portfolio of clients including global brands, listed companies and international businesses on their employment law matters. These will include but not be limited to general advisory work, tribunal defence, corporate reorganisations, TUPE transfers and employee/director contracts. You will be given significant autonomy to run your own caseload, while also having excellent sound-boarding support from your team. This position can be based out of London or Birmingham.

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.
