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.

- 2–6 years' PQE gained at a leading UK or international law firm
- Strong UK employment law experience across both contentious and non-contentious matters
- Excellent technical skills and commercial judgement
- A proactive approach and a genuine interest in building client relationships
- Someone who enjoys working as part of a high-performing team and wants to continue developing their career
