Farleys has entered an exciting new chapter. Following our recent partnership with Lawfront, we're growing our successful Employment team and looking for a talented 2-4 years' PQE Employment Solicitor to join us - working across our Lancashire offices (you'll have a home base, but travel across offices is required).
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys a genuinely varied caseload and wants to be part of a forward-thinking firm during a period of real expansion.
The Role
You'll work across both employer and employee matters, handling a broad mix of advisory and contentious employment work. Expect a healthy blend of tribunal cases, day-to-day HR support, contracts and policies, discrimination matters, and business-focused advice.
You'll have the autonomy to run your own files while being supported by a friendly, collaborative team that values knowledge-sharing and professional development.
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.
