Maternity Cover: Experienced Employment Lawyer (Fixed-Term, 12 Months)

We are seeking an experienced employment lawyer to join a leading international professional services firm as maternity cover for its in-house employment law team.

About the Role

The position is a fixed-term maternity cover (12 months) starting ideally in late August/early September. You will act as a key member of an experienced team, providing contentious, advisory and transactional employment law support.

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.
