Role Overview

We are seeking a motivated and commercially minded Lawyer to join a well renowned Employment Litigation team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to take ownership of their own caseload, develop their litigation and advocacy skills, and build strong, trusted relationships with clients. You will advise and represent clients across a range of employment disputes and Employment Tribunal matters, providing clear, practical and commercially focused advice. You will work as part of a supportive and collaborative team while having genuine responsibility for progressing your own matters.

Key Responsibilities

  • Advise clients on legal and commercial risks, developing appropriate strategies to protect their interests and resolve disputes effectively.
  • Draft and review ET3 responses, witness statements, applications, chronologies, schedules of loss and other litigation documentation.
  • Prepare for and attend Case Management Hearings, preliminary hearings and other Tribunal hearings as required.
  • Work alongside counsel and colleagues on more complex cases and matters proceeding to final hearings.
  • Coordinate hearing preparation, including Tribunal bundles, procedural deadlines and compliance with Tribunal orders.
  • Identify opportunities to provide additional legal support and strategic advice to existing clients.
  • Contribute to business development and the achievement of team and individual financial objectives.
  • Keep up to date with developments in employment legislation, Employment Tribunal decisions and emerging workplace issues.
  • Prepare clear and accessible updates for clients on relevant developments in employment law and workplace practice.
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure matters are progressed efficiently and to a consistently high standard.

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.
