Job Opportunity: Employment Solicitor/Senior Associate
A specialist Employment Law boutique is seeking an experienced Employment Solicitor or Senior Associate to join their Nottingham office. This is a unique opportunity to work in a firm entirely dedicated to employment law, delivering practical, solutions-focused advice for high-profile clients across retail, health and social care, and hospitality.
You will be joining a team of around 30 legal advisors, handling respondent-focused work, which makes up 95% of the caseload. The team acts for national and global brands, often competing with top London firms and leading regional practices. Senior Associates will have the opportunity to manage complex matters, support employment tribunal claims, and contribute to the growth and development of the team.
The Role:
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iโm in my final year doing Economics and I donโt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer โ it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donโt need a masters. Letโs look at the ones youโd 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 โ that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
