Your new company

Situated in the heart of Manchester, this respected law firm is renowned for its expertise in litigation and its commitment to delivering exceptional legal services.

Your new role

As a litigation paralegal, you'll work closely with senior solicitors and experienced fee earners, supporting a varied caseload including data breaches, financial mis-selling, and business interruption claims. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience with high-profile matters in a collaborative legal team.

What you'll need to succeed

You should be an experienced paralegal with a background in commercial or civil litigation and a solid mix of casework exposure. Our client is open to applications from personal injury paralegals eager to transition into this area of law.

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.
