Litigation Paralegal – 12 Month FTC

International Law Firm

Birmingham (Hybrid: 3 days office / 2 days WFH)

We are partnered with a leading global law firm to hire a Paralegal into their Litigation & Dispute Management team in Birmingham on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

This is a fantastic chance to join a high-performing disputes team, supporting senior lawyers on a range of complex litigation matters within the Financial Services Disputes & Investigations (FSDI) practice. You’ll gain hands-on experience across areas including motor finance litigation and retail banking disputes, working on large-scale, high-value cases.

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.
