Family Solicitor | 3-5 PQE | Guildford
I'm working with a highly regarded regional law firm that is looking to add a Family Solicitor with 3-5 PQE to its established Family team in Guildford.
This is a great opportunity for a family solicitor looking to join a well-respected and growing practice, working closely with experienced Partners and Associates while continuing to develop their own caseload and client base.
The Role
You'll have the opportunity to work across a broad range of family matters, including:
- Divorce and financial disputes
- Pre-nuptial and cohabitation agreements
- Children Act matters
- Matrimonial arbitration and mediation
- Wider family-related disputes
- Wills and trusts disputes
You'll manage your own caseload with appropriate supervision, while also supporting Partners and Associates on more complex 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.
