Employment Solicitor
Birmingham
We’re working with a highly regarded and ambitious employment team that is looking to add an Employment Solicitor to its Birmingham office.
This is a genuinely exciting opportunity for someone who wants more than simply another role. You’ll be joining a team with an excellent reputation in the market, working with major UK and international employers and getting exposure to sophisticated, high-value and often high-profile employment matters.
The team is continuing to grow, so this is a great time to join. You’ll benefit from working alongside experienced employment specialists and will have the opportunity to take real ownership of your work, develop your client relationships and build your profile within the market.
What makes the role exciting?
You can expect a really varied workload, covering both contentious and non-contentious employment work. This could include everything from day-to-day employment advice through to complex Employment Tribunal litigation, restructures and large-scale workforce projects.
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.
You’ll also have the opportunity to work on high-profile and interesting disputes, including matters involving foreign embassies, and will work alongside leading KCs on some of the team’s more complex Employment Tribunal cases.
There is also a strong focus on development. You’ll be encouraged to get involved in client training, networking, legal updates and business development, giving you the opportunity to become much more than just a technically strong lawyer.
Most importantly, you’ll be joining a team where there is scope to grow. If you’re ambitious, commercially minded and keen to develop your career within a highly respected employment practice, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
What we’re looking for
We’re keen to speak with employment solicitors who have a solid grounding in employment law and are ready for their next challenge.
To be considered, you must:
- Be a qualified solicitor in England & Wales.
- Have at least 1 year’s PQE.
- Have experience advising on employment law matters.
