Employment Lawyer | 6+ PQE | Midlands | National Commercial Law Firm
If you are a qualified Employment Lawyer looking for high-quality work, genuine flexibility and the opportunity to advise some of the UK's best-known businesses, this could be an excellent next step.
We're working with a successful national law firm with a strong reputation for advising a diverse client base, from owner-managed businesses to major national and international organisations. The firm combines the quality of work and calibre of clients typically associated with larger city practices with the flexibility to be based from any of its Midlands offices, allowing lawyers to enjoy first-class work without compromising on location or lifestyle.
This is a firm that values substance over status. They're looking for lawyers with energy, initiative and commercial awareness, people who enjoy being close to clients, taking ownership, spotting opportunities and helping to drive the business forward.
Whether your background is at a leading international practice, a respected regional firm or a boutique, what matters most is the impact you've made and the value you'll bring to the team. The firm has an entrepreneurial culture where ability, attitude and ambition are recognised, creating an environment where driven lawyers can thrive.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
