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.
The work is predominantly contentious, with around 80% of the role focused on representing employers in employment tribunal claims. You will also get exposure to disciplinaries, grievances, restructures, redundancies, settlement agreements and wider advisory work as you develop.
You will work closely with experienced Partners and senior lawyers, with structured supervision and exposure to a broad client base rather than being tied to one particular partner.
It's a good opportunity for someone who wants to build a strong grounding in employment litigation while developing into a well-rounded Employment Solicitor.
What they're looking for
- NQ to 2 PQE Employment Solicitor
- Genuine interest in contentious employment work
- Strong academics and good commercial awareness
- Good communication and organisational skills
- Litigation experience with an interest in moving into Employment would also be considered
- An interest in technology and AI is a plus
