LAW Absolute have been instructed on a really exciting opportunity with a global law firm in Manchester. The position is for an experienced employment lawyer to join them as soon as possible on a 12-month Fixed Term Contract (FTC).

About the Role

The team is looking for someone with a strong contentious employment background, including Employment Tribunal litigation/advocacy, alongside broader advisory experience. The role would involve predominantly acting for employers and advising UK-based clients on a broad range of employment and HR matters, with scope to take ownership of matters and work closely with senior lawyers and clients.

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.
