About the Role
We're looking for a qualified solicitor with 6+ years' PQE gained within a well-recognised national or regional practice, to join our UK client’s in-house legal team as an employment lawyer. You'll work autonomously alongside Senior Legal Counsel on a broad range of employment-related legal issues in a thriving and dynamic company.
You can expect a busy and stimulating workload as the trusted advisor to the business. No two days will be the same, and for example, you'll:
- Advise on current and forthcoming employment-related legislation and best practice, mitigating legal risk
- Manage employment dispute resolution and tribunals through to completion, liaising with external lawyers
- Draft contracts, templates, and advise the business on HR issues
- Take on relevant project work
- Draft employment contracts, draft or amend policies and procedures, etc.
- Be able to work with lots of autonomy, but also collegiately with members of the benefits team, HR team, or broader legal team
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.
If you've worked in the UK and also had some experience working in another European jurisdiction, that could be a real asset but certainly isn't essential.

- You’ll be pragmatic, commercially savvy, an excellent communicator, and you’ll embrace being a critical part of a successful international business.
