Family Solicitor (4+PQE)

Ready for your next move?

We're looking for an ambitious and personable Family Solicitor (4+ years PQE) with a strong background in financial remedy work to join our growing Family team.

This is an excellent opportunity to become part of a friendly, supportive and highly regarded law firm where you'll enjoy high-quality work, genuine autonomy and the opportunity to make a real difference to clients during some of the most important moments in their lives.

Our Family team is known for providing pragmatic, compassionate advice and building lasting relationships with clients. You'll work alongside experienced colleagues who are collaborative, approachable and committed to delivering exceptional service, while enjoying the benefits of a positive culture that values work-life balance and professional development.

About the Role

You'll manage your own varied caseload with a particular emphasis on:

  • Divorce and separation
  • Financial remedy proceedings
  • High-net-worth financial settlements
  • Cohabitation and separation disputes
  • Pre- and post-nuptial agreements
  • Private children matters

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.
