The Role
An exceptional opportunity has arisen for an experienced Employment Solicitor to join a rapidly expanding employment team handling matters end-to-end across a range of contentious and noncontentious streams. Acting for a diverse client base, this role involves the delivery of pragmatic commercial advice on a varied caseload including high-value tribunal claims concerning whistleblowing, discrimination and unfair dismissal, senior executive appointments and exits, restrictive covenants, restructures and redundancies and TUPE. In addition to this, the successful candidate will be required to mentor junior members of the team and engage with the business development of the practice.
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.
