The role
We are looking for an experienced Litigation Lawyer to undertake a varied caseload of legal work. The role will report to and be directed and supervised by a Senior Lawyer. Depending on the requirement of the relevant Senior Lawyer, you will undertake litigation and prosecution work as necessary.

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 may also be required to advise Members and Officers, and will undertake all contentious proceedings where appropriate, specifically civil and criminal matters. You may occasionally attend Licensing Committees, and advise Members and Officers in relation to these.
Candidates must have experience in at least 3 of the following 7 areas:
- Homelessness
- Prosecutions
- Licensing
- Judicial Review
- Education
- Litigation
- No recourse to public funds
Although an understanding of, and familiarity with the Local Authority environment is an advantage, we would consider any applicant with a private practice background wanting to transfer their skills into the public sector.
