Job Opportunity for an Ambitious Employment Lawyer
If you’re an ambitious Employment lawyer who is ready to operate at the next level, or already there and looking for a platform with genuine growth potential, this is an opportunity to work at a firm where "Legal Director" really means something.
We’re working with a highly regarded full-service commercial firm with a clear and carefully planned growth strategy, both in London and across its wider network. The Employment team is already strong, advising an excellent client base across high-quality advisory, transactional, and contentious work. They’re now looking for a senior Employment lawyer who can help take the practice to the next stage.
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.
